They threatened to blow up the bus and its 39 passengers if 25 imprisoned Palestinians were not freed. After an almost ten-hour impasse, Israeli commandos attacked the bus. One passenger was killed, seven wounded. Two terrorists were killed instantly, while the other two, according to an official statement the next day, died "on the way to the hospital," presumably of wounds...
