Jerusalem bus explodes

A bus exploded Wednesday in Jerusalem and witnesses saw several people lying on the ground or carried on stretchers. The explosion occurred near the main entrance to the city and shattered windows nearby. The outbreak appears to have been intentional, in which case it is the first attack on a bus in years.

It came amid growing tensions between Israel and the militant Islamic group Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip. At the moment it is unclear whether the explosion occurred inside the bus or somewhere nearby. It discusses the possibility of a suicide bombing, though no group has been attributed so far.
