Best way I can think of is by doing a select on table2 to get the value you
want and then delete from table1.

You could try

> delete from table1 where table1.somecol=table2.somecol and
table2.somecol2=somevalue and table1.somecol4=someothervalue

but I doubt it as it is not in the manual.  If it is, someone please let me
know where as it is definitely not under 7.17 of the manual.
