A bomb explosion heard throughout  wounded over 30 people at a crowded
bus stop Wednesday, leaving one woman dead. Initial reports by local
media indicated that the entrance to the city had been closed and the
Associated Press said it appeared to be a militant attack, the first
since attacks were halted in 2004. A day later, CNN called it a terror
attack.

The blast blew out the windows of two buses and Israel's national rescue
service have said that the explosion seriously wounded 15 people. The
injured were carried away from the scene with stretchers.

A 59 year-old British tourist, identified as Mary Gardner, died in a
hospital following the incident.

Micky Rosenfeld, a foreign press spokesman for the Israel Police, said
that a device in a bag left in a phone booth near the bus station
exploded when the bus passed.

The blast occured near the entrance to the city and next to the city's
central bus station, and came at the same time when tensions are rising
between Israel and the militant group Hamas.
