A suicide bomber rocked the center of the Negev capital of Be'er Sheva early Sunday, wounding at least 10 people, two of them seriously, in the first such terror attack since Israel began its withdrawal from the Gaza Strip earlier this month.

Witnesses said the driver of a crowded No. 9 bus in Be'er Sheva found the bomber suspicious, and refused to allow him onto the bus.

The bomber next tried to board a No. 12 bus, but security guards began pursuing him. The bomber then detonated the explosives, seriously wounding the two guards. The wounded were all taken to Soroka Hospital in the city.
