Terror in capital: A 59-year-old woman was killed and dozens of people were wounded Wednesday afternoon after an explosive device was detonated in a phone booth near the Jerusalem Convention Center.
Medical officials 39 people were hurt in the blast, including three who were seriously hurt. Five other victims were moderately wounded and the rest sustained light injuries.
Most victims are young, aged 15-30, said Shaare Zedek Medical Center Deputy Director, Ovadia Shemesh. Two of the victims are older, he said.
Police say the explosion was caused by a device placed at a telephone booth near a bus stop. Police officers were searching for additional devices while trying to clear residents from the scene, shouting that it could still be dangerous.
Nonetheless, crowds gathered at the scene and a group of young haredim attacked a British reporter at the site, chanting: "Anti-Semite." Others at the scene called for revenge, including Knesset Member Michael Ben-Ari.
