The 10 victims in the Jerusalem terror attack were all young men, ranging in age from 14 to 20. The funerals are taking place throughout Sunday. Some 180 Israelis were wounded in the double suicide bombing, with 88 still in the hospital, 13 in serious condition. The bombs, about 40 yards apart, were followed about twenty minutes later by a third bomb in a car parked on nearby Rav Kook Street, apparently targeting emergency workers treating the wounded. The bombs contained metal shards and screws to maximize the number of injured, police said.
