Suicide Bomber Kills 20 on Crowded City Bus in Jerusalem

HeadlineJun 18, 2002

A suicide bomber detonated explosives on a crowded city bus in Jerusalem this morning, killing 20 people, injuring over 40. Many of the people on the bus were schoolchildren. Meanwhile, a Palestinian human rights group is reporting Israeli forces have killed over 90 Palestinians in the last 40 days alone. Ten of those killed were under 18 years old. Meanwhile, CNN founder Ted Turner says Israelis and Palestinians are both terrorizing each other. In an interview with the London Guardian, Turner said, “The Palestinians are fighting with human suicide bombers; that’s all they have. The Israelis, they’ve got one of the most powerful military machines in the world. I would make the case both sides are involved in terrorism.”
