Description

Peter Allen-Frost reports from Jerusalem where at least fourteen people have been killed after an Arab passenger grabbed the steering wheel of an Israeli bus and forced it off the road. The bus plunged down a ravine between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and burst into flames. The attack has been condemned as an act of madness by Israel’s Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir. Includes interview with a female survivor and a male paramedic (neither of whom are identified).
