We do indeed have him. mr. rosenfeld, thank you so much for joining us. i was just saying that undoubtedly an investigation will be under way or at least start shortly. do we have any information that you can share with us about the device and its exact location, where it was placed? >> all i can confirm is this is the first terrorist attack that took place in jerusalem in the last four years. an explosive device exploded at the bus stop itself. there was a bag that laid at the bus stop and it e...

Moderate to light. ambulances have taken the patients to the hospitals within a few minutes. and all blood services, theyre getting an additional shipment of blood to the four hospitals in jerusalem that received the casualties. >> i should just say here, do you have a sense as to what caused some of these injuries? is it flying glass, is it just proximity to the glass? >> its a combination of internal injuries, some of them caused by the blast and others caused by shrapnel that was part of the ...
