An Arab driver intentionally crashed his Caterpillar bulldozer into a city bus and hit two cars in central Jerusalem Tuesday afternoon in an apparent effort to recreate the terror attack in the capital several weeks ago. The bulldozer reportedly left a construction site opposite Liberty Bell Bark near the corner of King David Street in the heart of the city, wounding one person moderately and several more lightly. The driver was first shot by a civilian, but kept smashing cars until being shot dead by a border policeman.
Barack Obama will be staying this evening down the street from the scene of the attack.
West Bank chieftain Mahmoud Abbas, meeting at the time with Israeli President Shimon Peres, condemned the attack. Peres said that Israel could not accept such attacks.
