epitome of a dumb bomb :>
To: Southack
Just to clarify, a FIFTH floor explosion would probably mean that the bomber blew himself up accidentally before he could leave his ready room. Fitting.

My sentiments, exactly!!!!

Three persons were very lightly wounded according to the police commander. Other reports indicate five wounded. Sounds like potential disaster averted. Oh but this is proof Arafat has no control over any of the bad guys! [/sarcasm]

Good, I'm glad the bomber is the dead one and not any innocent civilians.

I agree with him, if this was a large explosion with nails and bolts it must have went off way too soon otherwise it would have done more than slightly wound 3 people. Maybe sweaty palms short circuted the detonation device.

So great to have a freeper in Israel to give us the news before our networks do. The big three cable channels are still focusing on their pre planned shows and just giving brief updates during commerical breaks. Sheesh!
Thanks for being our breaking news, and stay safe!

Explosion in central Jerusalem, no injuries immediately reported
JERUSALEM, Dec 05, 2001 (AP WorldStream via COMTEX) -- Police reported an explosion in central Jerusalem Wednesday morning, and a police spokesman said it appeared to have been a suicide bombing.
The explosion happened just after 7:35 am (0535 GMT) near a hotel on King David Street, close to the line that separated east and west Jerusalem until 1967.
Police said it was unclear whether anyone had been injured.
Blood covered one part of an outside wall of the David Citadel Hotel, formerly the Hilton, and some body parts were visible on the street. A reporter arriving on the scene did not see any injured people.
Kobi Zariyahu, a Jerusalem police spokesman, said three people had sustained minor injuries.
The hotel is near the Jaffa Gate, one of the main entrances to Jerusalem's Old City.
The explosion followed two days of Israeli military strikes targeting Gaza and the West Bank. Two Palestinians were killed Tuesday, and the strikes hit a security station just yards from an office where Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was working.
The strikes were Israel's response to Palestinian suicide attacks that killed 25 people in Jerusalem and the northern port city of Haifa over the weekend and brought the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to a new crisis point.
