Posted by smoothstone

Remind me again why Muslms in Israel are worthwhile peace partners? Via AP:

A Muslim driver plowed his BMW into a group of soldiers at a busy intersection near Jerusalem’s Old City late Monday, injuring 13 of them before he was shot to death, Israeli police and the rescue service said.

Jerusalem police said a soldier in the group killed the Muslim murderer.

The driver was not immediately identified, but Franco said he was a Palestinian Muslim from eastern Jerusalem who apparently acted alone. Israel TV said the car was registered to a resident of Jabel Mukaber, an Arab village inside the city limits.

Police said two of the 13 innocent injured were in serious condition while the others suffered light wounds. Doctors at the hospitals said all were conscious and were being treated.

Israel Radio said the soldiers, from the Artillery Corps, were on a tour of Jerusalem ahead of the Jewish New Year holiday next week.

Police said the Muslim-driven car rammed into the soldiers waiting at the intersection. Witnesses said the car ended up on the sidewalk near the intersection.
