A man driving a bulldozer went on a rampage in Jewish west Jerusalem this morning, in the second such attack this month, and rammed into cars before he was shot dead.
The attack happened just down the street from the hotel where US Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama is due to stay during a visit to Israel scheduled for tomorrow.
"The bulldozer driver left a construction site, and hit two cars," a police spokesman said.
"A civilian who saw what was happening, shot him. The bulldozer continued on its way. A border police patrol ... continued to shoot and the terrorist was killed. Another person was wounded."
A similar attack in Jerusalem killed three Israelis three weeks ago. The Palestinian driver of the bulldozer involved in the July 2 incident was shot dead by an off-duty soldier and police
