JERUSALEM — A homicide bomber dressed as an ultra-Orthodox Jew blew himself up on a bus in downtown Jerusalem Wednesday afternoon, killing 15 people and wounding scores of others. The Hamas militant group claimed responsibility for the attack.

Paramedics and police reported said approximately 100 people were wounded, including 15 in serious condition.

Officials said 10 of the people who died were aboard the bus, and the other five were passersby. The homicide bomber also died in the blast.

FOT TAT

About an hour later, an Israeli helicopter fired missiles at a car in Gaza City, targeting a senior Hamas militant identified as Tito Massoud, a commander of the Hamas military wing, Israel TV reported.

Doctors said eight Palestinians were killed and at least 20 were wounded in the missile attack.

Witnesses said an Israeli Apache helicopter fired two missiles at a car stuck in a traffic jam in the neighborhood of Shijaiyah and then fired again after a group of people gathered around the stricken vehicle.

Two bodies were taken out of the car, one decapitated. The dead included Massoud, 35, and another Hamas militant, Soffil Abu Nahez, 29.

The roadmap to peace has hits a real snag. Not trying to start a flame war but I think If I was in authority in Jerusalem it might be difficult to find a live Palestinian by morning. And yes! I know there are women and children there - But, How do you separate the innocent from the terrorist? The Israeli government , in my opinion, has shown amazing restraint up to this point. This is a nation that was, and is capable of going through two or three neighboring countries in a week - They have a military that is like John Wayne toilet paper - it is capable of dealing with whatever comes up. I think that whoever, if anyone, that is in charge of the Palestinians were to think about this they would see how shaky the ground they are on could become. It would cause one hell of an uproar for a few days but perhaps it is time for them to be turned loose.

Your turn.
