Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades claim Jerusalem bus bombing By Anshel Pfeffer, Arnon Regular and Ran Reznik, Haaretz Correspondents, Haaretz Service and News Agencies The Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade on Sunday claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing in Jerusalem on Egged bus No. 14, in which at least seven people were killed and sixty people were wounded Sunday morning. Eleven people suffer from serious injuries. A statement released by the militant group, associated with PA Chairman Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction, named the bomber as Mohammed Za'el, 23, from a village near the West Bank city of Bethlehem, and made a reference to the security fence being built by Israel. The communique called the barrier "a Nazi wall which will not stop us attacking". The statement also claimed the attack was in retaliation for the Israel Defense Forces' killing of 15 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on February 11. Prior to the official claim of responsibility, Hezbollah television station Al-Manar reported that the suicide bombing was executed on behalf of the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, and named the bomber. The attack came just a day before the International Court of Justice in The Hague is to begin hearings on the West Bank separation fence Israel says is crucial for keeping out bombers. The blast took place at around 8:30 A.M. in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Rehavia, near Liberty Bell Park. The bus, travelling to the Beit Hakerem neighborhood, is usually very crowded at this time of day.
