A man seized control of a bulldozer and overturned a bus on a
main road in Jerusalem today, killing at least two people before
he was shot by a policeman, Israeli police said.
TV pictures showed the single-decker bus lying down on its side
on the busy Jaffa Road, near the city's old central bus station
and the headquarters of the Israel Broadcasting Authority.
A police spokesman, Micky Rosenfeld, said: "A suspect driving
a tractor ran over a number of vehicles and Israelis in the street,
on Jaffa Road. Israeli police arrived at the scene. Many people
were injured". He described it as a terrorist incident.

"I saw the tractor's shovel turn to the bus and deliberately
hit it. It hit other vehicles as well," an Israel Radio reporter
said.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said there were dozens
of casualties. At least three other vehicles appeared to have
sustained damage, including a van whose entire front section was
crushed.
A reporter at the scene said a man climbed into the cab of the
tractor after it hit the bus and shot at the driver, apparently
an Arab, several times.
Traffic ground to a halt as hundreds of people fled through the
streets in panic. Israel's national rescue service said at least
30 were wounded in the incident.
Injured people lay amid piles of broken glass and blood stains
on the ground, the Associated Press reported. A baby had blood
on its face. One witness cried: "Where's the baby? Where's
the baby?" The driver of the bulldozer was slumped motionless
over the steering wheel.
