Kira Perlman
Nov 21, 2002 - Kira Perlman, 67, of Jerusalem, was one of 11 people killed in a suicide bombing on a No. 20 Egged bus in the Kiryat Menahem neighborhood of Jerusalem. The bomber, wearing a five-kilogram bomb belt packed with explosives and shrapnel, boarded the bus at approximately 7:00 A.M. on Mexico street in Kiryat Menahem. Before it reached the next stop, the terrorist, who was standing in the front section of the bus, set off the bomb, killing 11 people and wounding about 50. The Perlman family had immigrated to Israel from the Ukraine. Kira Perlman, who accompanied her grandson Ilan everywhere, was taking him to school when they were killed on the bus together. Kira lived in Jerusalem's Ir Ganim neighborhood with her daughter-in-law Galia Perlman, her two grandsons, and her elderly mother. Kira Perlman was buried together with her grandson Ilan in the Givat Shaul cemetery in Jerusalem. She is survived by her mother Genia, 90, and her grandson Sinai, 15.
