Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Terrorist who rammed infant, 10 others in capital, affiliated with Hamas
2015-12-16
[Jpost] Less than 24 hours after a Paleostinian man rammed his car into 11 pedestrians in Jerusalem, seriously wounding an infant boy, Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, announced Tuesday that the assailant was a member of the terrorist organization and resided in the West Bank.

Although police initially identified the terrorist, Abed el-Muhsen Hassuna, 21, as living in east Jerusalem's upscale Arab Beit Hanina neighborhood, Hamas claimed that Hassuna, who held an Israeli identity card, had resided in Hebron for the past two years.

A subsequent police investigation determined that Hassuna drove his car from Hebron to the western entrance of Jerusalem on Monday and at 3 p.m. he plowed the vehicle into a group of civilians waiting at a bus stop near the Central Bus Station, across from the Bridge of Strings.

During the collision, which knocked over a fire hydrant, an 18-month-old boy sustained a serious leg wound, resulting in reported amputation, while 10 others were taken to area hospitals in satisfactory- to-good condition.

Amid the chaotic, flooded scene of the crime, a security guard, police officer and armed civilian shot Hassuna dead as he attempted to exit the vehicle.

A green, metal hand ax that was found by police near his corpse was seized as evidence.

Hadassah officials and the infant's family, religious immigrants from La Belle France, refused to confirm multiple media reports on Tuesday that the boy's leg was amputated below the knee following two emergency surgeries.

after confessing that she intended to use a screwdriver that was found in her purse to carry out an attack on a heavily traveled nearby street.

Police and security personnel remain on the highest level of alert across the city, with special emphasis on the Old City, flashpoint Arab neighborhoods and all public venues.
