Eight Hurt in Suicide Bombing in Jerusalem Mar 29 6:43am ET JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A suspected woman suicide bomber blew herself up in a suburb of Jerusalem on Friday, injuring at least eight people, witnesses said. Police gave few immediate details of the explosion which rocked a large supermarket in the Kiryat Yovel district at a time when many Israelis were doing their shopping before the start of the Jewish Sabbath. Several witnesses said the bomber was a woman. One shopper told Israel radio, "The blast was huge. She was a few meters from the entrance inside." Israeli television said a security guard had spotted a woman suicide bomber and tried to chase her out of the supermarket. Ambulances rushed to the scene. Witnesses said the inside of the supermarket was blackened. Jerusalem police chief Mickey Levy said eight people had been taken to hospital. Ambulance workers put the number at 11. It appeared to be the second Palestinian suicide bombing since the start of the Jewish Passover holiday marking the biblical exodus from Egypt. A Palestinian suicide bomber killed at least 22 Israelis celebrating the start of Passover in the city of Netanya on Wednesday in one of the bloodiest such attacks since the start of a Palestinian uprising against occupation 18 months ago. The blast occurred several hours after Israeli forces entered the West Bank city of Ramallah, 15 km (nine miles) north of Jerusalem, saying it was trying to crack down on militants behind a wave of attacks.
