Two blasts went off near bus stops in the city at the height of morning rush hour in Jerusalem on Wednesday, killing a Canadian-Israeli teenager and injuring at least 18, officials said. The first explosion happened at a bus stop on the edge of Jerusalem, while the second went off about a half-hour later in Ramot, a settlement in the city’s north.

“Incredibly saddened to learn about the death of a young Canadian in the terrorist attack in Jerusalem. I’m sending his family and friends my deepest condolences,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a tweet Wednesday morning.

Police said their initial findings showed that shrapnel-laden explosive devices were placed at the two sites. "(We are efforting) to pursuit and put our hand on whoever committed this terror attack," the head of Israeli police said of the ongoing investigation.
