PA Calls Terror Attack "A Traffic Accident" -Ari Rabinovitch

A Palestinian driver rammed his bulldozer into a police car, rolling it over until it slammed into a bus at one of Jerusalem's busiest intersections before police and a taxi driver shot him dead. An open Koran was found in the driver's cabin.

Video from a traffic camera showed the bulldozer lowering its front shovel before striking a parked police car. The bulldozer then rolled the vehicle across the intersection, flipping it over and smashing it into a bus. Two officers inside the police car were injured.

Riyad al-Malki, information minister for Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' Western-backed government, described the incident as a "traffic accident," and called for an investigation into why the bulldozer driver was shot.
