An Israeli woman, who was seriously injured in a suicide attack in a Jerusalem pizzeria 22 years ago, has died.

H Hannah Nackenberg, born in New York, was in a coma after the attack. Today, a representative of his hospital Tel Aviv Ichilov confirmed the death of the 53-year-old.

Nackenberg was in the pizzeria with her then two-year-old daughter, who escaped unharmed.

The suicide attack launched by a Palestinian suicide bomber who detonated his belted explosives at the Sbarro pizzeria on August 9, 2001 is considered one of the worst attacks of the second Intifada, killing 15 people and injuring 130 others.

Among the dead were seven children and a pregnant woman.

A Palestinian accomplice of the attacker was sentenced to several years in prison, but was released in 2011 in a prisoner exchange and now lives in Jordan.

The US requested her extradition because American citizens were among the victims of the attack, but Jordan refused.
