In pictures: Robot tackles 'suicide bomber'

Israeli police sappers were called out to a bus stop at the Megido Junction near Haifa after a man was injured in what appeared to be a botched suicide bomb attack.

With the help of a bomb disposal robot, they turned the man around to inspect his body for remaining explosives.
