Jerusalem Bombing Casualties Include American; Wounded Include Arab Bus Driver and NJ State Senator's Daughter
(Jerusalem Post) Alan Beer, 47, a Cleveland-born computer programmer who immigrated to Israel in 1998, was killed in the bus bombing in Jerusalem. The bus driver was Ibrahim Atrash, an Arab from the eastern Jerusalem village of Sur Baher, who was lightly wounded. (Ha'aretz) One of the wounded is the daughter of New Jersey State Senate Majority Leader Robert Singer. (CNS News) Natan Sharansky, the Minister for Jerusalem Affairs, stood next to the bus ruins shaking his head: "My daughter rides that bus, so immediately you start checking where your family is." (Jerusalem Post) Former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky explained to reporters the difference between the innocent dead in Jerusalem and in Gaza: "None of our operations target innocent people. If we harm the innocent, it is a failure for us. But the terrorists target the innocent. For them, this is a success - the goal of the operation." (Telegraph-UK)
