TERRORIST ATTACK IN ISRAEL - "BUS BOMBING; at least 10 murdered, 50 injured" - Jerusalem

[yonif]

Loud explosion heard on Balfour Street in central Jerusalem (Haaretz)

[yonif]

The US is concerned about Israeli action which might turpedo the roadmap to "peace"

[American in Israel]

It is Christian Embassy, sorry, everyone here just calls it "The Embassy".

The Girl that was hurt is Svetlana, a russian translator. She is deaf, in shock and may have internal injurys from the shockwave, but by the Grace of God she is un-burned and all the schrapnel missed her.

The second girl is named Sheri, she is in shock but ok. The third girl is named Rita. She is unhurt.

[Cinnamon Girl]

When you say she is deaf, do you mean she became deaf from the explosion?

[yonif]

Christian Embassy, ah. Prayers to all those injured.

[GeronL]

OK. They need to ban Palestinian women from entering Israel for a few days, just to make a point while they carpet bomb all the Paly terrortories

[American in Israel]

Yeah, explosion, she is deaf now.

[yonif]

When the first wave of suicide bombings hits the US maybe our leaders might see how foolish they are.

[yonif]

remember a few days ago IDF intercepted a planned suicide terror attack in Tel Aviv.

The day this terrorist attack in Jerusalem had security officials with 55 terrorist warnings.

[yonif]

Not yet.

[yonif]

That middle bottom small building is the PM house.

[American in Israel]

Rita is from Germany. Sheri was next to bus when it went off, she is from the USA, but is unhurt.

Svetlana has a chunk of glass in one eye and has some burns, bad enough to burn off a lot of her hair.

[GeronL]

thats very saddening.

I understand that christians have been leaving Israel in droves.... are those reports true??

[Southack]

"But if Israel is to act militarily, it will probably be directed at terrorist infrastructure in Judea Samaria and maybe terrorist HQ's in Gaza."

Since that hasn't been effective, I suspect that Sharon will risk an extra-national response outside of Israel.

Just my guess, but the suppliers of the bomb materials need to be hit, and hit hard, even if they turn out to be in Europe or Persia or Africa...

[eastforker]

I am surprised they don't have her picture plastered all over the TV with a child in her lap holding an AK47 .

[Blue Scourge]

Everyone is thinking it so I'm just going to say it....To hell with the roadmap to "peace", right now we need to come up with a roadmap to the morgue for these terrorists and their supporters/sympathizers...

[GeronL]

no I did not write a response in 8 seconds ... but your last post is also saddening.. will the glass in her eye destroy her vision?? Will the hearing come back??

I guess its too soon to know.
