3 killed, 66 wounded in Jerusalem terror rampage -Etgar Lefkovits & Jonny Hadi

Three people were killed and 66 were wounded when a bulldozer driver went on a rampage in downtown Jerusalem.

A half-dozen cars were flattened and others were overturned by the Caterpillar vehicle. A bus was also overturned, and another bus was heavily damaged.

A car was dragged several meters by the bulldozer before being crushed under the vehicle. A baby was pulled out by a passerby before the vehicle was crushed, with the child's mother still inside.

Finally, Moshe Plesser, [an 18 year old] off-duty [IDF] soldier shot the terrorist, who cried "Allah Akhbar" (God is great) before being killed.

UPDATE:

Israeli Mother Saves Baby
-Abe Selig, Shelly Paz, & Jenna Stark

Seconds before being crushed to death by a bulldozer driven by a Palestinian, Batsheva Unterman succeeded in unbuckling her 5-month-old baby from the car-seat and passing her out through the window to safety.

"Just as I took the baby out, he reversed on top of the car. The baby is okay, but not the mother," said Jeremy Aronson, the man who helped save the baby.

Three Israeli Fatalities Named in Palestinian Terror Attack

The fatalities in Wednesday's terror attack were all Jerusalem residents.

Batsheva Unterman, 33, who worked in a kindergarten, was killed when the car she was driving was crushed by the bulldozer. Her baby daughter, Efrat, was evacuated from the car just before the vehicle was hit. Elizabeth Goren-Friedman, 54, the mother of three children, worked as a teacher in a school for the blind. Jean Raloy, 68, a father of three, was an air-conditioner technician.
