Jerusalem bus explosion was a terror attack, police say
- 8 years ago
A bus exploded in Jerusalem on Monday, wounding at least 21 people in what police said was a “terror attack,” raising fears of a return to the Palestinian suicide attacks that ravaged Israeli cities a decade ago.
The explosion was in the lower back side of the bus where the engine is situated.
The explosion also set fire to a second bus that had no passengers on board.
"There is no doubt that it was a terror attack," said Yoram Halevy, chief of the Jerusalem District Police.
The blast came as Israelis prepared for the Passover holiday amid a wave of Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings.
