*BREAKING!*

A bomb exploded in a bus in the heart of Jerusalem wounding at least 21 people. Israeli police are calling it an act of terror.

Police commissioner Yoram Halevy said it’s too early to know the identity of the attackers or whether it was a suicide bombing. “We are investigating where the explosive device came from, who planted it, how it got on the bus.”

Some of the wounds appeared to have come from nails and screws, according to medics, FOX reports. Conflicting reports emerged over whether the bus was empty at the time.

The blast comes as jittery Israelis prepare for the Passover holiday amid a wave of Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings.

Photos from the scene showed flames engulfing the bus as firefighters raced to get it under control. Black smoke could be seen in the air from miles away.
