[0:00] Sure.

[0:02] Not again.

[0:06] >> Okay.

[0:08] Celebrating 40 years of spirit.

[0:17] On World News Tonight, a devastating

[0:19] suicide attack against Israelis, as bad

[0:22] as it gets. The Arab summit meeting in

[0:24] Beirut, which says it wants to have

[0:26] normal relations with Israel. A warning

[0:29] from the State Department that Americans

[0:31] in Italy may be in danger from

[0:33] terrorists over the Easter holiday.

[0:36] We'll take a closer look tonight at the

[0:38] pressure on children. The town in New

[1:26] city of Natana, very near the occupied

[1:29] Palestinian territories, a suicide

[1:31] bomber walked into a hotel where people

[1:33] were celebrating the Jewish Passover and

[1:36] blew himself up. So far, 17 Israelis

[1:40] have died as well, and about a hundred

[1:42] have been injured. This war between

[1:44] Israelis and Palestinians has reached a
