LONDON, July 11: A 39-year-old Israeli woman who had a fear of bus bombs in her home country got on the Number 30 bus in London on Thursday moments before it exploded and is feared dead, her fiance said. Anat Rosenberg, who had lived in London for 18 years, called her partner John Falding after emerging from the London Underground to tell him she had just taken the bus and was lucky enough to find a seat.
“I just heard screaming, and the mobile went dead,” Mr Falding said in an interview played on BBC television Sunday.
“She had this phobia about bus bombing in Israel. And she put off visiting Israel, where her parents live, because she feared getting on a bus in Israel.
“And the irony is that this happened here, in our only bus bombing. It’s just incredible.” —AFP
