Reuters News Service is now reporting 7 fatalities in Jerusalem. It was a double bus. The Israeli cabinet is expected to hold an emergency meeting shortly...

I think you're referring to the Baghdad blast. At least, I hope you are.

Crap, I just checked all the news sites. I've read 5 on MSNBC, 7 on FoxNews, and 13 plus 3 kids on CNN.

Ugh!

ABC Radio just said 4 children.
