The life of Asher Elmaliach, the security guard who was stabbed in the Jerusalem central bus station attack last week, is still in danger, a Shaare Zedek Medical Center spokeswoman told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday.“He is still in a very critical condition,” she said. “He is still in a coma and connected to life support systems – to an ECMO device and to a respiratory assistance device.... His vital signs are stable and so is his condition, but [the situation] is still highly critical.”She added that he is no longer considered in imminent danger of death.Elmaliach, 46, from Adam (Geva Binyamin), was stabbed in the heart by Yasin Abu al-Qur’a, a 24-year-old from the Nablus area. The attacker was apprehended and arrested immediately after the attack.Police have not yet clarified details of Abu al-Qur’a’s background, but it is believed he acted as a “lone wolf,” without receiving guidance or assistance.It has been assumed that the stabbing was a response to the US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
