Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, after several pipe bombs were discovered this morning in an attempted terror attack on the Jerusalem Light Rail:
"This morning, thanks to the vigilance of the Light Rail security guards of the Jerusalem municipality, a massive attack was prevented. The Light Rail security personnel are part of the fabric of the broad human shield of Jerusalem against terrorists, whom try to sow terrorism and fear.
Our message to the public is to continue as normal, to remain vigilant, and to never surrender to terror. It is our responsibility to chase down terrorists wherever they may be, without compromise and without restraint, and along the way to continue to develop and support Jerusalem .
We can be proud of the security personnel of the Jerusalem municipality, and of the Jerusalem police, for their tremendous dedication and willingness to endanger their lives in order to protect the residents of Jerusalem.
Thank you, in the name of all the residents of the city."
