The father of the Palestinian who died in a Jerusalem bus bombing denied on Thursday that his son was affiliated with the Hamas Islamist group. Mohammad Abu Srour is the father of Abdel-Hamid Abu Srour. A pro-Hamas website identified the younger Abu Srour as the Palestinian militant from the occupied West Bank who died from his wounds following a bomb which exploded on an Israeli commuter bus in Jerusalem on Monday. The pro-Hamas Palestinian Information Center said Abu Srour was from the Aida refugee camp near Bethlehem and said he was a member of the Kassam brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas militant Islamist group. His father denies this.
