(Updated Thursday 8:30AM) Ten Israelis were murdered this morning and 45 others were injured, eight seriously, when an Arab suicide bomber detonated his explosives aboard a bus in Jerusalem's Kiryat Menachem neighborhood. Egged bus line #20 was traveling on Mexico Road headed towards the center of town at about 7:15AM , when the bomber boarded the bus and detonated his device in the front section of the cabin. The bus was packed with commuters heading to work during the morning rush hour, as well as children on their way to school.
This morning's attack was the first deadly bombing in the capital since an Arab terror cell detonated a bomb inside of Hebrew University's Frank Sinatra Cafeteria on July 31, killing nine. The last bus bombing in Jerusalem took place in June, when a suicide bomber blew himself up on a bus near the Pat junction murdering 19.
