From CNN:
A suicide bomber on Sunday killed at least seven passengers on a crowded bus in Jerusalem at the height of rush hour, according to police in the city and Israeli ambulance services.Jerusalem police spokesman Gil Kleiman said the suicide bomber also died in the terrorist attack, which wounded more than 50 people, 11 of them seriously.
The blast happened in West Jerusalem about 8:30 a.m. (1:30 a.m. ET) on Sunday, the first day of Israel's working week.
Video showed the number 14 bus with its windows blown out and its interior mangled, as rescue workers removed the wounded and remains from the vehicle.
One of the people killed in the attack was an 18-year-old high school student identified by the Jerusalem daily Haaretz as Lior Azulai, a pupil at the Gymnasia Rehavia. Nine other students at the school were wounded in the blast, Haaretz reported.
The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades -- the military offshoot of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement -- claimed responsibility for the blast in a statement.
The group said the attack was in response to a February 11 Israeli military incursion into Gaza, in which 12 Palestinians were killed in gunbattles. The Israeli Army said the Palestinians were all armed, and that its forces were fighting the terrorist infrastructure. Palestinians say many of the killed were civilians.
Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks against Israeli civilians and military targets, and is designated by the U.S. State Department as a foreign terrorist organization.

Finish the bloody fence already!!
And let's take this bus too to the ICJ. Let them see exactly what the Palestinians want.
Sorry about the ranting, very upset about this. My heart goes out to the families of the Israeli dead and wounded.
And the bomber's family? They'll throw a party and collect "blessings". May they choke on them.
Posted by: zorkmidden at February 22, 2004 11:15 AMI say we send the Palestinians flowers, oh....wait a second.....DAISYCUTTERS......They are nothing but dirty bastards that kill innocent Jews on what seems a daily basis.
If the Israelis don't have Daisy Cutters, we should oblige them. Israel=Surrounded by filthy puckered assholes, yes. Powerless, oh hell no.
Slow, agonizing death to all Jihadis, for they have no respect for life. They are nothing but brainwashed cyborgs......

Posted by: Susan at February 22, 2004 12:16 PMI have never hoped i will live to see such an article on the Chicago Tribune front page...
The title is "How Saudi wealth fueles holy war",this sunday,february 22 2004.
Is this a sign that our nation is slowly waking up ?!
Some of the passages in the article,show the Islam doctrine for what it really is,a death cult that wants to spread allover the world and take over the planet...such as:"Saudi Arabia is the heart and soul of ISLAM...The nation plays an important role in the ISLAMIC world;it is a powerful financial engine that has generated billions of dollars that flow into mosques and ISLAMIC communities from Cairo to Chicago....
ISLAM is not just the dominant religion in Saudi Arabia..all other religions are banned....some muslim charities funded by S.A. have the goal ofmaking ISLAM supreme on this Earth...
Just wait for the muslim communities in the US to read this article,and start to protest on basis of freedom of religion and muslim persecution in the west..
God bless America.
Why does Israel fight such a half hearted battle instead of defense of its people? Why would it take down a part of a fence to make the killers happy rather than keep on building the one to protect its people? Is Israel so beholden to America? I don't understand Israel. Can anyone explain the withdrawal from Gaza? Is it about disporportionate population? Thank you.
Posted by: MG at February 22, 2004 4:22 PMTo Israelis I say: Finish the fence already, stop f--king around, and don't be greedy---stop hiring Palestinian workers. It's a despicable and treasonous practice.
To the West I say: Even after 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq, you still don't understand who you're dealing with. WAKE UP! WAKE UP! Don't interfere with Israel's attempts to protect its civilians. Who decided that Israeli blood is cheaper than Arab blood? Our enlightened, civil, Western approach to resolving conflicts ain't gonna work in the Middle East, where sending Arab children to blow up Israeli civilians is both lucrative and practical, considering the uncontrollable rate at which the Palestinians are multiplying.
Posted by: Nat at February 23, 2004 1:41 AMAmen Nat. What our nation and the rest of western civilisation still do noy understand is that this IS a battle of civilisations to the finish. We are winning battles right now(Iraq, Afghanistan) but unless our civilisation wakes up we will lose this war...GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BUSH, PRIME MINISTER BLAIR AND ALL OF OUR ALLIES...
