Ambulance crews reported at least four people were killed and several dozen wounded, 12 seriously, in the blast which occurred during the busy lunch hour at a Sbarro's pizzeria in the heart of Jerusalem's shopping district.(Read photo caption below)
The attack was the latest of its kind since a Palestinian uprising erupted last September after peace talks deadlocked.
Israeli Radio reported police feared another bomber was on the loose.

A series of bombings against Israelis have ignited fears in Israel of a new campaign - as threatened by Islamic Resistance groups. In 1996, for example, Israel was paralysed by a series of bombings that killed more than 50 people. It is a measure of the depth of feeling among Palestinians - anger, resentment and in some cases despair - that there appears to be no shortage of recruits ready to die for a Palestinian state. The suicide bombers are typically unmarried men in their late teens and 20s.
