The caption accompanying the picture of the vigil for Rachel Corrie inaccurately reported that "Corrie was the first American casualty in the recent Israeli-Palestinian conflict." Prior to this incident, there have been at least 38 American citizens killed and 74 injured by Palestinian terrorists in the recent Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Most recently, March 5, 2003, Abigail Leitel, 14, was killed in a bus bombing in Haifa. Before that bombing, five American citizens were killed and four were injured in the bombing of a cafeteria at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in July 2002.
