Can two similarly charged bodies attract each other?

Yes, when the charge on one body Q is much greater than that on the other q and they are close enough to each other so that force of attraction between Q and induced charge on the other exceeds the force of repulsion between Q and q.

However, two similar point charges can never attract each other because no induction will take place here.
