  • Story Text: Hundreds gather in Jerusalem for the funeral of U.S. doctor
    and his daughter, killed on Tuesday in a suicide
    bomb attack.


    Hundreds of people on Wednesday (September 10)
    attended the funeral of Dr. David Appelbaum and his daugter
    Navah who were killed in a suicide bomb attack in a
    Jerusalem cafe on Tuesday (September 9).

    Appelbaum, the head of Shaare Zedek Medical Center's
    emergency room in Jerusalem, had returned from New York the
    night before after a lecture tour on the readiness of
    hospitals in Israel to cope with bomb attacks.

    Appelbaum was dining with his daughter who was
    preparing for her wedding night scheduled for Wednesday
    when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives at the
    Hillel cafe in Jewish west Jerusalem, killing seven people.

    The attack came just over five hours after a bombing
    killed six people at a bus stop outside a military base
    near Tel Aviv, dealing two shattering blows to a collapsing
    U.S.-backed peace plan.
