Today, October 11, 2011, the IDF indicted four Palestinians, members of the Hamas terror organization, responsible for executing the terror attack near the Jerusalem central bus station on March 23, 2011. A British student was killed in the terror attack and 67 civilians were injured.

The terror attack was executed by a cell of the Hamas military wing working in Hebron. Members of the cell recruited the terrorist who executed the attack, by leaving the explosive device in a bus station after noticing a gathering on the premises, walking away and detonating the device. As a result of the explosion, Mary-Jane Gardner was killed and dozens more were injured.

In addition, the members of the cell planned an additional suicide-bomb attack which was intercepted due to their arrest.
