A Palestinian woman who set off a bomb in downtown Jerusalem, killing an elderly Israeli man, injuring dozens and causing widespread damage, was a paramedic, relatives said. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, affiliated with Fatah, claimed credit for the bombing, calling it a "martyr operation". That would make Wafa Idris, 27, the first woman to turn herself into a human bomb during more than 16 months of Palestinian-Israeli violence. |
