The death toll from this morning’s suicide massacre aboard a Jerusalem city bus has risen to 19, including many children on the way to school. The number of wounded is around 50, including five in serious condition; they were evacuated to Hadassah Mt. Scopus, Shaarei Tzedek, and Hadassah Ein Karem hospitals. IDF and GSS intelligence organs are aware that the various terrorist organizations are competing with each other to see who can carry out the biggest attacks, and Arafat\'s Fatah-Tanzim and the Hamas have so far claimed responsibility for today\'s slaughter.
The bus blew up shortly before 8 AM this morning only seconds after picking up passengers at the Beit Tzafafa bus stop on the way north from Gilo to the Pat Junction. Beit Tzafafa is a lone Arab neighborhood sandwiched between Jewish areas in southern Jerusalem. The bomb blew the sides and roof off the bus.
