Twin blasts in Jerusalem kill one, injure 18 in morning bus station attacks

TEL AVIV — A student was killed and at least 18 others injured after explosions went off at two bus stops in Jerusalem at the height of the morning rush hour, in what Israeli security forces are treating as a “combined terror attack.”

The blasts come amid a surge in violence between Israelis and Palestinians this year, and there are fears that the incident could represent a return to the bombing campaigns of 20 years ago.
