An bomb tied to a telephone pole exploded Wednesday at a crowded bus stop outside the International Convention Center in Jerusalem, just opposite the central station.

At least 25 people were wounded in the incident, four of them seriously. All of the casualties have been evacuated to the Hadassah Hospital in Ein Karem. The Magen David Adom emergency services said that there were no fatalities.

Hamas WAS ramping up the attacks recently with their freshly-minted, Iranian Katyushas. I wonder if AAMB set this big one up, though...

Hamas was lobbing mortars into Israel last week.  It didn't get widely reported because everyone was paying attention to Egypt and Libya.

Drat, scooped by OH.

Tell me I'm not alone in having a sense that there are some Iranian fingerprints all over the place.
