Israeli authorities are labeling it a terrorist attack, although they say there is no clear motive and the man -- a construction worker -- acted alone. It is not known if he had links to any terrorist organization.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told CNN the bulldozer operator drove down a busy thoroughfare in West Jerusalem, crashing into four cars and two buses, before heading toward a crowded market.
Jerusalem Post: The three fatalities were identified as Jerusalem residents Zen Raluay, 68, Elizabeth Goren Friedman, 54, and Batsheva Onterman, 33 - the mother of the six-month-old baby. Goren Friedman and Onterman were buried late Wednesday night in the capital, and the details of Raluay's funeral were yet to be made public.
The attack began at noon when Husam Taysir Dwayat, a 30-year-old resident of the southeast neighborhood of Sur Bahir, drove out of a nearby light rail construction site and plowed his Caterpillar vehicle into anything and anyone, first on Rehov Sarei Yisrael and then on Jaffa Road, overturning a No. 13 Egged bus, flattening half a dozen cars and leaving destruction and carnage in his wake
