Major Terrorist Attack Prevented in Downtown Jerusalem
(Jerusalem Post) - Daniel K. Eisenbud A large-scale terrorist attack was averted in the heart of downtown Jerusalem Sunday morning, when security guards prevented an Arab man from the West Bank from boarding the light rail at Jaffa Center Station with three pipe bombs and several knives in his bag. Security guards stationed in the densely populated area observed the unidentified suspect, who carried a shoulder bag, behaving suspiciously. The suspect, who police described as in his 20s and from the village of Beit Ula, near Hebron, was immediately detained and forced to lay flat on the ground at gunpoint. Sappers arrived at the scene moments later, and within minutes, area store workers and pedestrians were evacuated.
