Bible Translator is the victim in Jerusalem Terrorist Attack

 

Jerusalem police were on high alert Thursday following a terrorist bombing that jolted the city.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged Israel would act "vigorously, responsibly and prudently" to preserve the "quiet and security" that existed here during the last two years.

Netanyahu spoke after an explosive device, packed with shrapnel, went off near a busy Jerusalem city bus stop, killing one woman and wounding more than 40 others.

CBN News has learned that the woman killed in the terror attack was a Christian who had been working for 20 years translating the Bible into the language of a tribe in togo.

Mary Gardner was from Scotland and she came to Israel at the beginning of the year to hone her translating skills at a ministry here called the home for Bible translators.

Gardner was killed almost instantly in the terror attack.
