Filmmaker nearly killed by suicide bombing in Tel Aviv makes movie about experience

nypost.com:

reporting for Wired magazine. I had completed a day of interviewing and was strolling alongside the Mediterranean when I came to a blues bar, Mike’s Place, with a Guinness sign out front.

I like Guinness, my name is Mike, and I stopped to poke my head in. But it was mid-afternoon and the bar was empty. So I went to my hotel and crashed early.

After midnight, a loud noise woke me. I said to myself, “That couldn’t be a bomb.” Next morning, I found out that a suicide bomber, Asif Mohammed Hanif, had blown himself up at Mike’s Place.

An accomplice, Omar Khan Sharif, failed to ignite his own explosive and got away. Twelve days later, his body washed up on the beach. (The men, both Muslim, came to Israel from Great Britain.) A few hours had stood.
