On August 9, 2001, Izz al-Masri, the suicide bomber, was escorted to the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem by Ahlam Tamimi, a 20-year-old female barbarian terrorist palestinian university student and part-time journalist, who had disguised herself as a Jewish tourist for the terror plot. At 2:00 pm, the restaurant was filled with customers, dozens of women, children and babies, and pedestrian traffic outside was at its peak. Tamimi departed before Al-Masri, thought to be carrying a rigged guitar case or wearing an explosive belt weighing 5 to 10 kilograms, containing explosives, nails, nuts and bolts, detonated his bomb. 15 civilians were killed, including 7 children and a pregnant woman from Passaic, NJ, and 130 wounded. She later commented that she was not sorry for what she had done and does not recognize Israel’s existence. Despite the fact that Im sentenced to 16 life sentences I know that we will become free from Israeli occupation and then I will also be free from the prison, she said. Reportedly, when she first learned from a journalist who was interviewing her in jail that she had murdered eight children, not just three as she had initially believed, she just smiled broadly and continued with the interview. Tamimi was released in October 2011 in exchange for the release of captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
