Six people, including a young American woman, were injured when a firebomb was thrown at a passenger bus in East Jerusalem, causing the bus to crash into a wall and a parked car, police said. Among the injured was Salwa Kanana, an American citizen from Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers in the occupied Gaza Strip confined 650,000 Palestinians to their homes with an indefinite curfew. Residents said the curfew may have been intended to limit demonstrations during the speech today to the U.N. General Assembly in Geneva by Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
