CNN - "A suicide bomber killed 11 people and injured 50--including many schoolchildren--aboard a crowded Israeli commuter bus in Jerusalem. Killed in the terror attack were an 8-year-old, three teenagers and seven adults." Reuters reports that "witnesses said they heard children who had been on their way to school screaming 'Mamma, Mamma' from the wreckage." Hamas confessed to the atrocity.

CNN quotes Jerusalem's Mayor Ehud Olmert: "Every time I come to such a site, I can't escape the thought that a living person entered the bus, and he saw the young kid of 6, 7 years old sitting, and he blows him apart. This is something that you have to see to understand how terrible it is."

Meanwhile, the Jerusalem Post quotes the murderer's father, Azmi Abu Hilail, who praises his son: "Our religion says we are proud of him until the day of resurrection. This is a challenge to the Zionist enemies." The Post doesn't spell out which religion the Abu Hilails practice, but I'm willing to bet a dollar it's a religion of peace.
