Jerusalem suicide bombing 'senseless'

Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has condemned the suicide bombing on a bus in Jerusalem as 'appalling and senseless'. He said that there could be no justification for such attacks.

Jack Straw said:

"It is truly awful that the world has been so shaken today by two terrible outrages against humanity in the Middle East - in Baghdad and now in Jerusalem. But this terrorism will not and must not succeed."
