  • Story Text: Over twenty injured after explosion at bus stop in Jerusalem.
    A bomb exploded near a bus in a Jewish neighbourhood of Jerusalem on Wednesday (March 23), injuring dozens, police said.
    Scores of ambulances converged on the area, near the central bus station and a city conference hall in downtown Jerusalem. The Magen David Adom ambulance service said it appeared no one had been killed.
    Police said an explosive device blew up near a bus and there were more than 20 people hurt. Live television showed a bus with broken windows and bloodstains on the pavement.
    It did not appear from the television pictures that the explosion occurred inside the vehicle.
    Bombings have been rare in Jerusalem in the past several years. Palestinians carried out dozens of bombings in the city at the height of an uprising that began in 2000.
