Abstract
Goldston, Pintz and Y\i ld\i r\i m have shown that if the primes have `level of distribution' for some then there exists a constant , such that there are infinitely many integers for which the interval contains two primes. We show under the same assumption that for any integer there exists constants and , such that there are infinitely many integers for which the interval contains two primes and almost-primes, with all of the almost-primes having at most prime factors. If can be taken as large as , and provided that numbers with 2, 3, or 4 prime factors also have level of distribution , we show that there are infinitely many integers such that the interval contains 2 primes and a number with at most 4 prime factors.
