This morning's numbers: Eleven dead, 45 wounded, seven in serious condition. An Arab suicide murderer from Bethlehem blew himself up aboard a bus in Kiryat Menachem neighborhood in southwestern Jerusalem. Egged bus #20 was headed north towards the center of town at about 7:15 AM when the bomber boarded the bus and detonated his device in the front section of the cabin a few stops later on Mexico Ave. The bus was packed with commuters heading to work and children on their way to school.
This attack was the first deadly bombing in the capital since an Israeli-Arab terror cell detonated a bomb inside a Hebrew University 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.
