Four dead, 57 injured in terrorist bulldozer rampage in downtown Jerusalem
July 02, 2008 @ 09:21am
DEBKAfile: In a rampage along Jerusalem's crowded Jaffa Street thoroughfare, a bulldozer hoisted and overturned a packed 13 bus, then extended its shovel and plowed into several vehicles and pedestrians, Wednesday, July 2. One of the threatened drivers managed to throw a baby out of the car window and save its life, before being crushed to death by the oncoming Caterpillar. The bulldozer driver was tackled and shot dead by two policemen and a passing off-duty soldier who clambered on the vehicle and cut the carnage short opposite the national broadcasting center. A police spokesman said later that they halted the lethal bulldozer only 200 meters short of Jerusalem?s big open air market and thus averted a potential massacre. The terrorist was a Palestinian living in one of the Arab villages of Jerusalem and therefore entitled to move freely around and work in the capital on a resident?s ID.Another Jerusalem Palestinian carried out the last deadly attack in the capital, killing 8 students and injuring 9 in a shooting spree in the Mercaz Harav yeshiva on March 7.Road works are underway on Jaffa Street preparing this busy thoroughfare for a light railway.
