An Italian journalist helped two suicide bombers enter the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, according to an Israeli investigation. The journalist says he was not aware that the two men, who were British citizens, were terrorists. Three victims were killed in the April 30 attack at a Tel Aviv pub when one of the bombers blew himself up outside Mike’s Place on the Tel Aviv seafront. The second terrorist fled when his explosives failed to detonate. His body was found two weeks later floating off the Tel Aviv beach.
