An Israeli woman seriously wounded in the suicide bombing of a Jerusalem pizzeria 22 years ago has died.
Chana Nachenberg, who was born in New York, had been in a coma since the attack.
On Thursday, a spokesman for Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital confirmed the 53-year-old’s death.
Nachenberg, who was born in New York, was at the pizzeria with her 2-year-old daughter.
Her daughter survived the attack unharmed.
The bombing of the Sbarro pizzeria on Aug. 9, 2001, was considered one of the most serious attacks during the Second Intifada, a major violent uprising by Palestinians.
Fifteen people were killed and 130 injured when a Palestinian bomber detonated a nail-filled explosive device.
Among the dead were seven children and a pregnant woman.
A Palestinian accomplice of the assassin had been sentenced to a long prison term.
However, she was released from a prisoner exchange in 2011 and now lived in Jordan.
The U.S. requested her extradition because U.S. citizens were among the victims of the attack.
However, Jordan has refused.
