Jewish Baby girl killed in Jerusalem is an American, US official says. (JPost).

Three-month-old Chaya Zissel Braun, the baby girl killed today in Jerusalem during a vehicular terrorist attack, was an American citizen, a US official confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday night.

The girl was thrown from her stroller as a car swerved into the Ammunition Hill light rail station, injuring seven others.

State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf has "urged restraint" and calm from both sides after the attack.

"The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s terrorist attack in Jerusalem," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in an evening statement. "We express our deepest condolences to the family of the baby, reportedly an American citizen, who was killed in this despicable attack, and extend our prayers for a full recovery to those injured. We urge all sides to maintain calm and avoid escalating tensions in the wake of this incident."

The suspected perpetrator has alleged ties to Hamas, Israeli officials say. Hmmm....It was never about land, as long as Islam doesn't evolve and removes the texts calling for the death of Jews, there will be no peace worldwide for the Jews. Read the full story here.
