CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: We have a little bit of breaking news to tell you about right now. Planes coming in to JFK right now. These are live pictures that you're seeing. This is an El Al airplane.

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: Right. This is an El Al jet, and it's bringing home the bodies of two Americans who were killed in Wednesday's terrorist attack at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The plane is landing at JFK bearing the bodies of Janice Ruth Colter (ph) from Massachusetts and Benjamin Blutstein (ph) from Pennsylvania, 25 years old, two of the five Americans killed on Wednesday. Hamas claimed credit for the attack at Hebrew University.

COSTELLO: Yes, as soon as the bodies are off the plane, they'll probably be taken home for burial and for their families.
