And Again
Palestinian Arab savagery strikes again: Jerusalem Bus Bomber Kills 10, Wounds 50.
JERUSALEM - A Palestinian suicide bomber detonated a bag of explosives on a crowded Jerusalem bus outside Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s residence Thursday, killing 10 passengers and wounding 50 bystanders in the deadliest attack in four months.The blast sent body parts flying into nearby houses. Shaken survivors crawled out of broken bus windows. A chunk of the bus’ roof landed on top of a two-story building, and witnesses said there was an overpowering smell of blood and smoke.
Sharon was not home at the time of the attack, claimed by the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a militant group close to Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement.
The bomber, identified as Ali Jaara, 24, a Palestinian policeman from the West Bank town of Bethlehem, said in a note he left that he wanted to avenge eight Palestinians killed in fighting with Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip the day before.
