20 Hurt in Explosion in Jerusalem
Wed Jun 19,12:26 PM ET

JERUSALEM (AP) - A bomb blast rocked a northern Jerusalem neighborhood Wednesday evening and at least 20 people were injured, several of them critically, police and the Israel media reported.
The attack was apparently carried out by a suicide bomber, said Kobi Zrihen, a Jerusalem police spokesman.

At least four of the wounded were in critical condition, rescue workers told army radio.

Initial reports said the blast was near a bus stop in the French Hill neighborhood, an area that Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast war, and which Palestinians claim for a future state.

No additional details were immediately available.

The blast comes one day after a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 19 people on a bus in southern Jerusalem, the deadliest bombing in the city in six years.

Israel has said it will reoccupy parts of Palestinian territory in response to such attacks.
