Bulldozer driver rampages in Jerusalem, shot dead

The attack occurred just down the street from the hotel where U.S. Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama is due to stay during a visit to Israel scheduled for Wednesday.

"The bulldozer driver left a construction site, and hit two cars," a police spokesman said.

"A civilian, who saw what was happening, shot him. The bulldozer continued on its way. A border police patrol ... continued to shoot and the terrorist was killed," the spokesman said. "Another person was wounded."Â

A similar attack in Jerusalem killed three Israelis three weeks ago. The Palestinian driver of the bulldozer involved in the July 2 incident was shot dead by an off-duty soldier and police.
