LOU WATERS, CNN ANCHOR: We have a breaking news story out of the Middle East. Israeli forces, we're being told, have conducted helicopter gun attacks in the West Bank in the city of Ramallah today after a suicide bomber killed himself and two Israeli teenagers in the process.

And two other bombs were found and diffused. This follows on the heels of two bombings yesterday in Jerusalem.

Before the Israeli attack, we're told the Palestinian officials evacuated the main Palestinian Authority headquarters building in Ramallah, saying that the Israeli military warned them to leave, indicating an impending attack. All of this is in the early stages now. We are getting up our forces in Jerusalem. And we will have more on the story as soon as we know more.
