Nineteen-year-old Yasara Bachri of Galilee was charged Wednesday in Nazareth District Court for failing to warn police after alighting a bus she knew would blow up near Safed on Sunday.
Another suspect, also 19, is also expected to be charged for failure to prevent a crime in connection with the case, media reports said.
The two nursing students were arrested shortly after the blast on August 4, on suspicion they were told about the impending suicide bombing but failed to report this to police.
[b]The two women got off the bus after the Palestinian assailant told one of them that "something horrible" was going to happen[/b], said Ilan Harush, a local police chief in northern Israel.
Twenty minutes later, the bomber set off the explosives he was carrying, killing himself and nine passengers.
Based on witness accounts, police began a search for the women, who live in northern Israel.
"We say that every citizen who has such information has to immediately inform police and rescue officials," Harush told Israel Radio.
If police had known, they could have stopped the bus earlier and four people who were killed outside the bus when it exploded could have been saved, Harush said.
[b]The women are cooperating with investigators and said that they did not think they had to inform police, Harush said.[/b]
