Father of baby who survived Jerusalem attack found

A 5-month-old baby whose mother threw her out of a car window to save her from a Palestinian attacker has been reunited with her father.

The child's mother was killed during the deadly rampage Wednesday by a Palestinian from east Jerusalem, who slammed a construction vehicle into buses, cars and pedestrians. A total of three people were killed before the attacker was shot dead by security officers.

Seconds before her car was struck, Batsheva Unterman saved her baby by throwing the child to safety. Initial reports had said the 33-year-old Unterman was injured but survived.

The baby escaped unhurt. It took hours to locate the child's father, who did not know his wife and baby were involved in the attack, rescue services said Thursday.

The baby's great grandfather was Israel's chief rabbi from 1967-1973.
