Suicide Bomber Kills 20 on Israeli Bus
A suicide bomber murderous bastard, blew himself up Tuesday on a packed bus on a main thoroughfare in Jerusalem, killing at least 20 people and wounding 80, Israel Army Radio said. Nobody immediately claimed responsibility.
They are fighting over the privilege.
The blast on the extra long bus, which had two passenger sections that were full, went off shortly after 9 p.m. Another bus nearby also was hit by the explosion. The bus had started out at the Western Wall, Judaismâs holiest shrine, in the walled Old City, and was headed to an ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, radio reports said, making it likely that many of the passengers were ultra-Orthodox.
The vermin probably dressed like one to hide the bomb.
The bus was badly damaged, with its windows blown out, and rescuers had to use blow torches to pry wounded from the wreckage. "What is clear is that it was a very big bomb," Jerusalem fire chief Amnon Amir said. Shocked survivors, including several crying children with blood-smeared faces, were led away from the scene. A paramedic cradled a little girl in his arms, and two others led away an older woman.

Paramedics treated wounded on the sidewalk, and body parts were strewn about. A rescue service said at least 20 people, including three children, were killed. Israeli officials donât include the bomber in the death toll. The bombing threatened to restart

Y'see, the important thing isn't the corpses, it's the peace plan... | Over the weekend, Israel and the Palestinians had reached agreement on the handover of four West Bank towns to Palestinian control. That deal was likely to be put on hold. The Palestinian Authority had no immediate comment.
Too busy toasting one another
The explosion went off as Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas was meeting with Islamic militants in the Gaza Strip to persuade them to halt attacks on Israelis.
Right...
The militants had declared a unilateral truce on June 29 but have said they would continue taking revenge for Israeli killings of their operatives.
Israel should just delare their own Dire Revenge and see how they like it.
Hamas said it was not involved. "We are commited to the truce. I donât know who carried out this action," said Abdel Aziz Rantissi, a Hamas leader.
He said with a snicker...
