A bombing in a cafeteria at the Mount Scopus campus of Jerusalem's Hebrew University injured at least 30 people Wednesday afternoon, officials of the Magen David Adom ambulance service said.

The injured were being taken to hospitals in the city, but the evacuation efforts were hampered by the location of the attack, inside a building on the campus.

Though classes were not in session, students were taking exams at the time of the blast, and the cafeteria, situated in the university's Frank Sinatra building, was crowded with diners.

It was the second bomb attack in the capital in the space of 24 hours. On Tuesday five people were injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a felafel stand in downtown Jerusalem, near the border with the city's largely Arab eastern half.

The Mount Scopus campus is adjacent to the West Bank, and is close to Arab neighborhoods of the holy city.

Maybe this was a mob hit set up to look like a suicide bomb?

Now I'm really pissed. Oh hell. Now the Palestinians have screwed themselves, expect some guys named Guido, Carmine and Tony headed to Israel to finish some business.
