Main Methods:

  • Medical records of 27 wounded civilians were analyzed.
  • Bodily wounds, injury severity, and mechanisms were documented.
  • Forensic reports on the terrorist's injuries were also examined.

Main Results:

  • 16 civilians (59%) sustained injuries to extremities.
  • 3 civilians (11%) had head injuries; 2 (7%) had abdominal injuries.
