Death is what Arafat deserves; it wouldnt surprise me if he is assasinated this time. He has surely earned his martydom. Two explosions on Ben-Yehuda St. in Jerusalem; dozens injured by Haaretz Staff Courtesy of Haaretz Two explosive devices detonated close to 11:30 P.M. Saturday night on Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem, injuring dozens of people, some of them seriously. The Jerusalem fire chief Moshe Suissa, who was nearby when the blasts occurred, said that there were two explosions in quick succession close to the junction with King George Street. He told Israel Radio they were likely the work of two suicide bombers "who blew themselves up simultaneously." A third explosion went off around midnight in Rabbi Kook Street in the area. Jerusalem police chief Mickey Levy said the source of the explosion was a car bomb. Levy also said there had been two suicide bombers, who blew themselves up about 40 meters apart. He said that the car had exploded during the ensuing evacuation of the area. "There is a lot of damage and there are many injured," he said. Doctors at Bikur Holim Hospital, which is several hundred meters from the blasts, said they had taken in 13 injured, one seriously. Officials at Hadassah Hospital Ein Karem said that 15 injured had arrived at the hospital, including four in serious condition. Israel Radio reported around 50 injured being admitted to Sha'arei Zedek Hospital. Some 30 ambulances as well as a large police contingent are at the scene of the explosion, and the area has been closed off to traffic. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who is currently in New York, was informed of the attack, and is conferring with his advisors.
