JUDY WOODRUFF, CNN ANCHOR: First, I believe, we want to tell you about developments in Israel. Is that right? Do we want to do that first?

There are reports coming into us piecemeal right now about what may have been a suicide attack on a bus in northern Israel. These pictures just coming in to us as well. The bus was near an Israeli army base when it exploded. We know that at least three people are dead, according to Israeli police. Six others wounded, at least, and two of those critically.

The bus was near, as we said, an Israeli military base. One eyewitness said there was nothing left of the bus after the blast. Army radio, though, saying -- said the bomb was apparently carried by a Palestinian suicide bomber, but police said it is too early to determine whether or not it was a suicide attack.

Elsewhere in Israel, two Palestinians were shot and killed by Israeli forces at a West Bank roadblock. And at another roadblock an Israeli was killed and another was seriously wounded in a drive-by shooting attack.
