    19 people were killed and 74 injured in a suicide bombing near the Patt junction in Jerusalem.

    The terrorist boarded Egged bus no. 32A from Gilo in Beit Safafa, an Arab neighborhood opposite Gilo, and almost immediately detonated the large bomb which he carried in a bag stuffed with ball bearings.

    The bus, which was completely destroyed, was carrying many students on their way to school.
