From the DEBKAfile:

Of the many injured students, several are in critical or serious condition.

A Palestinian gunman armed with a Kalashnikov gun and a bomb vest stormed the Yeshiva library Thursday night, March 6, and opened automatic fire in all directions at the scores of seminarists studying there. After several minutes, he was shot dead bby a neighboring police officer. He has been identified as resident of the south Jerusalem suburb of Jebal Maqaber, bearer of an Israeli identity card.

Dozens of ambulances collected the casualties as heavy police forces and special military units arrived on the scene and scoured the four-story building in case more terrorists were lurking there.

All the roads leading in and out of Jerusalem were blocked amid a manhunt for the killer’s confederates.

The Lebanese Hizballah’s TV station interrupted broadcasts to name the perpetrators of the attack as the “Imad Mughniyeh Liberators of Galilee.”
