4 killed in Jerusalem vehicle attack; official says it's an act of terror

(CNN) A truck plowed into a group of soldiers in Jerusalem, killing four people and injuring at least 13, Israel's emergency services said Sunday.

Three of the four killed were female soldiers, Israeli Education Minister Neftali Bennett said. The fourth person killed was a young man, but it was not immediately clear whether he was a soldier. All of the slain victims were in their 20s. "A group had gotten off the bus and were getting organized with their bags when the terrorist took the opportunity, ramming his truck into the group," Israel Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. "Then he in fact reversed and tried to ram them again until shots were fired, and the terrorist was shot and killed at the scene."

It appears trucks are the new weapon of choice.

Trucks, planes, children. These freaks don't care what they use for weapons. As long as they are killing anyone they can.

And what? 13 injured, that's bad too; those could be very serious. Most of these recent attacks have had the death toll mount weeks after the event;


To me, she looks a bit Ethiopian.

Terrorist attacks all the time right now.

“They shot him, until they neutralized him,” said the bus driver

As they should have. If they had then run over him with his own truck a few times for good measure it would bother me not.

Obama has said they don't know the motive for the attack.

Trucks, planes, children. These freaks don't care what they use for weapons. As long as they are killing anyone they can.

And, quite effective and hard to prevent.  (Trucks, that is.)
