UPDATE: CNN reporting that 15 people have been reported injured, several of them very seriously.

They are also reporting this may not have been a terrorist bombing as Police initially thought. But they are still investigating it so we’ll find out later.

 
UPDATE II: From Arutz Sheva:

Large Magen David Adom (MDA) and police forces rushed to the site. According to reports up to 15 people were wounded in the attack, at least two of them seriously and six moderately with the rest lightly wounded. Rescue forces evacuated the wounded to the hospital.

Jerusalem district police confirmed that the 12 line bus was targeted, and initially said it was hit by an explosive or suicide bomber who detonated inside the bus.

Police later announced they have not yet completely determined that the incident was a terror attack. That about-face came after it was found that in the incident a bus empty of passengers exploded and an adjacent bus with passengers on board as well as a private car took the impact, with the injuries occurring on the second bus.

According to witnesses a large explosion rocked the bus which then became quickly engulfed in flames.
