(CBS/AP) Bulldozer Attack Kills 3 In Jerusalem Officials Say Israeli Arab Man Drove Into Cars, Bus; At Least 35 Injured, Attacker Killed JERUSALEM, July 2, 2008 An Israeli official said at least three people were killed and 35 wounded Wednesday in a rampage by a Palestinian bulldozer driver in Jerusalem.
The driver plowed his bulldozer into a string of cars and a bus in downtown Jerusalem on Wednesday before police shot him dead. Police say the attack appears to have been politically motivated.
A woman's body lay lifeless in the street, and Jerusalem Ambulance service spokesman Yonatan Yagodovsky told the British Broadcasting Corp. shortly after the attack that at least three people had been killed and seven more were in critical condition.
He said the casualty toll was preliminary due to the fact that emergency workers were treating people at three separate scenes involved in the incident.
According to the AFP news agency, the militant Hamas group, which runs the Gaza Strip, released a statement saying it was not aware of who carried out the attack, but calling it the "natural result of Israeli aggression."
