An explosion near a bus in West Jerusalem injured at least 20 people, three critically, Israeli police said.
Scores of ambulances converged on the area near the central bus station and a city conference hall in a Jewish neighbourhood of downtown Jerusalem on Wednesday.
Al Jazeera’s Nisreen El-Shamayleh, reporting from Jerusalem, said that at least three people were critically injured by the explosion.
“There were around 20 people wounded, but initial reports say that no-one has died,” our correspondent said.
Micky Rosenfeld, the foreign press spokesman for the Israel Police, told Al Jazeera that a device in a bag that was left in a phone booth near the bus station exploded when the bus passed.
"This was not a suicide attack," Rosenfeld said.
Live television showed a bus with broken windows and bloodstains on the pavement. It did not appear from the television pictures that the explosion occurred inside the vehicle.
Bombings have been rare in Jerusalem in the past several years. Palestinians carried out dozens of bombings in the city at the height of an uprising that began in 2000.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, postponed his departure to Russia after the bombing, his office said.
Netanyahu had been scheduled to hold talks with Russian leaders in Moscow and return on Thursda

Love is but the song we sing,
And fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Know the dove is on the wing
And you need not know why
C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
Some will come and some will go
We shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moments sunlight
Fading in the grass
C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
If you hear the song I sing,
You must understand
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command
C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
Right now
Right now!
If only we could stop the fighting with love
And Israel promptly dumped their artillery on a residential area of Gaza, killing 5 and wounding 13....
