Deadly bombing targets Jerusalem bus stop

Deadly bombing targets Jerusalem bus stop: "One person has died and more than 20 others are injured after a bomb blast at a crowded bus stop in central Jerusalem, Israeli officials say.

The bomb had been left in a bag by the side of the road near the central bus station, police said.

Dozens of ambulances converged on the scene near the entrance to the city, and police sealed off the area.

Jerusalem suffered a spate of bus bombings between 2000 and 2004 but attacks have stopped in recent years.

Witnesses said the force of the blast - just after 1500 local time (1300 GMT) - shook buildings over a wide area."
