JERUSALEM - In the early afternoon, a loud explosion devastates a bus stop line 74 and 14 in Jerusalem, at a time of day when public transport is usually very crowded. Had just arrived at the stop means of both lines. Israeli media reported the death of a woman, initially included in the budget of 31 injuries spread a few hours after the attack on the police chief, Aaron Franco.
The blast zone is opposite the main railway station and close to an international conference center in downtown Jerusalem. The terrorist act has not yet been claimed. Following the attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's departure to suspend his trip to Russia. Shortly after the detonation, the Israeli military radio reports of gunshots heard at the entrance to Jerusalem, in the area of the 'Sakharov Gardens', about a mile from the explosion, but it is a false alarm.
The images of the TV show a bus with its windows shattered trails of blood on the floor of the vehicle. From the archive does not appear that the explosion occurred inside the bus. Hypothesis confirmed by the first bomb, according to which the bomb was in a bag at the bus stop. Then officially confirmed by the Minister of Internal Security, Yitzhak Aharonovitch.
According to the site of Haaretz, the bomb was attached to a pylon of the telephone line. Police sift the area looking for any other devices. Via Twitter, the spokesman for the Israeli Embassy in Washington, Jonathan Peled, had initially attributed the bombing to a suicide bomber. The same spokesman was correct then, even on Twitter: "The bomb in Jerusalem was not on a bus and no action appears to be suicide." Speaking to reporters at the place of the episode, the mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, calls for citizenship to "raise the standard of care" in front of suspicious packages to prevent the risk of new attacks.
Barkat is concerned that the warning threshold of people can be lowered in recent years of relative quiet after the last season of the deadliest attacks (years 1990-2000). For the mayor, the cooperation of citizens is crucial to preventing terrorist acts of that type. The last attack in Jerusalem dated from March 6, 2008, when a Palestinian had attacked an educational institution on the Talmud, the sacred text of Judaism, in the west of the city, causing eight dead and nine wounded before being in turn killed.
