A man driving a tractor has carried out an attack in Jerusalem and has been shot dead, according to Israeli emergency services.
Police say the driver crashed into a bus and hit two cars before he was shot dead. Five people have been injured.
The driver's identity was not immediately clear.
Earlier this month, a Palestinian driving a bulldozer killed three people and wounded dozens before being shot dead on one Jerusalem's main streets.

by Anonymoussdfsdf (not verified) on Tue Jul 22, 2008 11:24 AM PDTi think the Palestians should realize that terrorism has achieved nothing. And i think military occupation has achieved nothing for Israel. May God Bless them both, and I hope they have PEACE eventually...
I know that tractor's brothers
by Realist (not verified) on Tue Jul 22, 2008 08:26 AM PDTI know that tractor's brothers. In fact I know the whole familiy: Bulldozers, tractors, trucks, etc.
This tractor in particular seems to have rebelled against the family, since the family usually demolishes Palestinian homes and villages. This tractor must be punished to have stepped out of line.

Read this link to get an idea of the media's bias towards the issue: //www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/07/a-west-bank-...
...A Google news search indicates that the brutal assault was mentioned in 3,525 news articles. USA Today, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, BBC, Fox News and Al Jazeera as well as all the other major media outlets covered the incident. Lesser-known media sources, such as the Khaleej Times in the United Arab Emirates, the Edmonton Sun in Canada and B92 in Serbia, also featured the event. Indeed, one could safely assume that almost all news outlets around the globe provided some type of coverage of the attack.
Another Google news search, this one using the name Ni’lin, produces only seventy-five results. A few major outlets have carried the story about the brave resistance to Israeli seizures of land staged by the residents of this Palestinian town in the occupied West Bank, but CNN, the LA Times and USA Today have not. Sources like the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times provided a short caption, no more. Considering that over the past two months the residents of Ni’lin have managed to make a mark on the history of popular opposition, the limited coverage of their campaign is not a mere oversight.
