The Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesman said: “We can confirm a British National was killed in the bus bomb in Jerusalem on 23 March. We are providing consular assistance."
A woman was killed and more than 30 people wounded when a bomb ripped through a bus in Jerusalem on Wednesday.
The Briton died in an ambulance on her way to hospital. It is not clear whether the woman was a tourist or lived in Israel. The bomb was the first in more than six years.
Two kilos of explosives were positioned close to the central bus station in Jerusalem, according to reports. The bomb is thought to have been packed with metal causing shrapnel injuries to people as they queued for buses.
Two buses had stopped to pick up passengers at the time of the explosion. The 174 bus was particularly badly hit.
