The 2002 French hill suicide bombing was a suicide bombing which occurred on June 19, 2002 in a crowded bus stop and hitchhiking post at the French Hill neighborhood in northeastern Jerusalem. The site of the attack was chosen in order to cause maximum number of casualties. 7 people were killed in the attack, and 35 were injured. The Palestinian militant group Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack.〔 The attack took place only a day after the deadliest bombing attack in Jerusalem in six years occurred in which a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 19 people on a crowded bus in southern Jerusalem. According to the Daily Telegraph, both of the attacks were timed to disrupt an expected announcement by U.S. President George W. Bush regarding a future Palestinian state, and Bush did in fact delay his speech.〔 == The attack == On Wednesday, shortly after 7:05 pm,〔 a Palestinian suicide bomber got out of a red Audi vehicle〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Minst syv drept i selvmordsaksjon )〕 next to a bus station in Jerusalem's French Hill neighborhood.
