Teenager killed after twin blasts

A TEENAGER has died and at least 18 others have been hurt after two explosions near bus stops in Jerusalem, in what police said were suspected attacks by Palestinians.

The first blast occurred near a bus stop on the edge of the city, where many commuters gather during rush hour. The second detonation took place in Ramot, a neighbourhood in the city’s north.

The victim was identified as 15-year-old Aryeh Schupak, who was heading to a Jewish seminary when the blast went off, according to a notice announcing his death.
