Jerusalem: 6 Dead After Attack on Synagogue 
--------------------------------------------


 
In Jerusalem, two Palestinians wielding a meat cleaver and a gun
attacked worshipers at a Jewish synagogue, killing four people, before
the attackers were shot dead. Six people were injured. It was the
deadliest such incident to hit Jerusalem since 2008. Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to wage a "harsh response," while
Secretary of State John Kerry condemned the attack as an "act of pure
terror." The killings came a day after a Palestinian bus driver was
found hanged in his vehicle in what Israeli authorities say was a
suicide. The man's relatives say bruises on his body show he was
murdered.
