In pictures: Megiddo bus attack
A suspected suicide bomber has blown up a bus near Megiddo, close to Israel's border with the West Bank, killing himself and at least 16 others.
Most of the people on the rush-hour bus were Israeli soldiers
The bomber drove this car alongside the bus before detonating the explosives
The fireball on the bus melted rifles and other evidence
Islamic Jihad said it carried out the attack to coincide with the 35th anniversary of the Six Day War
It was the deadliest attack since Israel's recent West Bank offensive
