The attack took place just yards from the hotel where Sen. Obama is due to stay in Jerusalem.
It was the second such attack this month. In the previous incident, an East Jerusalem Palestinian man went on a rampage in downtown Jerusalem in a bulldozer, using the vehicle to crush cars and two buses. The man, Hossam Dawiath, 31, was killed after an off-duty Israel Defense Forces soldier climbed into the tractor and killed him in the midst of the attack.
