Explosions rocked two bus stops in Jerusalem while Israelis commuted during rush hour Wednesday morning, leaving a teen dead and at least 14 people injured.

A 16-year-old boy killed in one of the blasts has been identified as Aryeh Shechopek, a Canadian citizen.

"Heartbroken to confirm that a young Canadian lost his life in this morning's reprehensible terror attack in Jerusalem," Canadian Ambassador to Israel Lisa Stadelbauer tweeted. "Our sincere condolences to his family and friends, and to others wounded in this attack.  Canada continues to condemn all forms of terror."

The first explosion occurred just after 7 a.m. local time at a busy bus station. Israeli police suspect that a bag with explosives was detonated remotely. Another explosion hit a second bus stop minutes later, wounding two.
