Palestinian Bomber Murders 10 Israelis on Jerusalem Bus
(AP/New York Times) A suicide bomber blew up a bus in Jerusalem on Thursday, killing at least 10 and wounding 45, in an attack just 15 meters from Prime Minister Sharon's official residence. Bret Stephens, editor in chief of the Jerusalem Post, said he heard the boom and ran to the scene. "There was glass everywhere, human remains everywhere, shoes, feet, pieces of guts. There were pieces of body everywhere,'' he said. Sharon's spokesman, Raanan Gissin, said the attack illustrated why Israel is building a separation barrier in the West Bank. Israel says the structure is needed to keep suicide bombers out of Israel. "The rest of the world should sit back and let us do what we need to do to defend ourselves,'' Gissin said.
