2002 street bombing in Jerusalem
King George street A suicide bombing occurred on March 21, 2002, outside a clothing store and toy shop on King George Street in Jerusalem . Three Israeli civilians were killed in the attack and 86 people were injured (several seriously).
On Thursday afternoon, 21 March 2002, a Palestinian suicide bomber detonated the explosive device, hidden underneath his jacket, in the middle of Jerusalem's shopping district in the King George Street in downtown Jerusalem amongst a crowd of shoppers.
The blast killed three civilians and more than 40 people were wounded, seven of them seriously.
After the attack the Palestinian militia al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for the bombing and stated that the perpetrator was Mohammad Hashaika, a 22-year-old from the West Bank village of Talluza near Nablus . Hashaika was a member of the Tanzim and a former Palestinian policeman. Later on, it was revealed that Hashaika was actually arrested for allegedly planning to carry out an earlier attack. Nevertheless, the Palestinian authority released him a week before he managed to carry out this suicide bombing.
