The second suicide bombing today. Another rotten Palestinian savage, this time at a restaurant in Jerusalem; at least four people are dead.
At least four people were killed and 40 others wounded when a suicide bomber blew himself up Tuesday night in a cafe on Emek Refaim St. in Jerusalem.
The attack took place at 11:20 P.M. in Cafe Hillel, which is one of many restaurants and coffee shops along Emek Refaim. Ambulances evacuated the wounded to hospitals in the capital.
The blast set off the siren alarms of dozens of parked cars
nearby. Police broke into cars in the area to check if they contained bombs.
Channel Ten television quoted witnesses as saying that the security guard at the entrance to the cafe prevented the bomber from entering.
Hamas has admitted responsibility for both of today’s crimes:
The military wing of Hamas, Iz a Din al-Kassam, released a leaflet shortly after the bombing, claiming responsibility for both the attack and for one less than six hours earlier at a busstop outside a military base near Rishon Letzion that killed seven people.
UPDATE: The death toll has already risen to six.
