1. Some excerpts from the article:

Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev reacted to the bombing by citing statements from hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that Israel should be "wiped off the map" and from Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar in Gaza reiterating that group's commitment to violent struggle.

Ambulances rushed to the scene after the explosion at the falafel stand, which was in an open air market next to the central bus station. Rescuers treated the wounded in a nearby field.

The dead were sprawled on the ground amid scattered fruit and wrecked cars. Shards of glass and blood covered the sidewalk as rescuers moved back bystanders to begin collecting remains of the dead.

"Body parts reached all the way until my apartment building. The damage is really great," witness Eidan Akiva told Channel Ten TV, saying he lived 100 yards from the blast. "All the stalls alongside just fell apart. The windows are all broken. It looks like a war was here," he said. "This is a very crowded place, very central place. We never expected that this would happen. We thought our world was good but apparently we were wrong."

The market was bustling a day after being closed for the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah.

I have a lot of comments about this but think I'd best keep them to myself. Thanks to the original poster for linking this article.
