Palestinian Terrorist Tries to Murder Obama!

Maybe an exaggeration but link bait is what it is. From McClatchy:

JERUSALEM — A lone Palestinian driving a heavy construction backhoe went on a short rampage Tuesday afternoon, smashing into a bus and several cars before being shot dead within view of the Jerusalem hotel where Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is expected to stay this evening.

At least 16 people were injured before a driver and a police officer shot the attacker.

The attack appeared to be a copycat of an attack July 2 in which a Palestinian construction worker killed three people before being shot dead.

“He didn’t care for nothing, not even his own life,” said Eran Sternberg, a Jerusalemite who captured the driver’s final moments with a cell phone camera.

Police said the attacker was a 29-year-old Palestinian from East Jerusalem who had a criminal record and appeared to be acting alone.

The rampage came hours before Obama was scheduled to arrive on the final leg of his Middle East visit. The Illinois senator’s aides said he had no plans to change his schedule.
