Suicide bombing in Jerusalem
A suicide bomber blew himself up on a crowded Jerusalem city bus during morning rush hour, killing himself and 10 passengers and wounding dozens, police sources said. Many school children were on the bus, officials said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, the first in Jerusalem since August.

The bomber set off the explosives in Jerusalem's Kiryat Menachem neighborhood at about 7:15 a.m.

Several bodies still lay near the bus after at least 38 wounded were taken to hospitals. Seven of the wounded were in serious condition.

Children's sandwiches and schoolbooks lay scattered in the street around the shattered bus, Yaron Enosh, an Israel Radio reporter said, noting that the bus exploded at a time when children go to school.

The explosion on Mexico Street in a neighborhood not far from Jerusalem's largest hospital, Hadassah Ein Kerem, was the first bombing since Nov. 4 when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a shopping mall in central Israel.
