Israeli Blast Victim Fights Back


(New York Daily News) Deborah Blachor - Steve Averbach , a weapons instructor and former Israeli cop, was on a bus blown up by a Palestinian suicide bomber. Seven people were killed, and the 37-year-old father of four was paralyzed from the neck down. On Tuesday, Steve moved a finger and toes. "I'm not done," he told his family and the Hadassah Hospital staff in Jerusalem. "I haven't been beat. I fought in the army, I fought in the police, and now I have another battle."
