By HAIM WATZMAN

A bomb exploded last week at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's cafeteria, which is frequented by students from overseas, killing seven people and injuring more than 80 others.

According to news reports, the military wing of the militant Islamic group Hamas claimed responsibility for the bombing on the university's Mount Scopus campus, in northern Jerusalem.

Last week's bombing marks the first time in more than three decades that the university has been attacked by terrorists.
