13 hurt by vehicle [Arab] attack in Israel; driver killedr Mon Sep 22, 5:33 PM ET
JERUSALEM - A driver plowed a BMW into a group of soldiers at a busy intersection near Jerusalem's Old City late Monday, injuring 13 of them before he was shot to death, Israeli police and the rescue service said. Jerusalem police commander Ilan Franco said a soldier in the group killed the driver. The driver was not immediately identified, but Franco said he was a Palestinian resident of east Jerusalem who apparently acted alone. Israel TV said the car was registered to a resident of Jabel Mukaber, an Arab village inside the city limits.
It was the third incident in Jerusalem in which vehicles apparently have been used as weapons in recent months. In July, two Palestinians living in Jerusalem carried out separate attacks using heavy construction machinery that killed three people and injured several others. Both attackers were fatally shot by police and soldiers.

SANA said the bomber was linked to an Islamist group, members of which had previously been detained. It did not name the group, which it described as a “takfir organization.”
“Takfir” is an Arabic word meaning to charge another Muslim with nonbelief and is used by some Islamist militants to justify killing other Muslims. Sunni Islamist groups in Iraq have used the concept to justify attacks on Shiites.
