- Story Text: Criminal car bomb in Tel Aviv sets nerves on edge
as Israel releases Palestinian prisoners
A car bomb that Israeli police blamed on criminals
killed one person and injured two in Tel Aviv on Wednesday
(August 6), officials said.
Police said they did not suspect involvement by
Palestinian militants, who have carried out dozens of
suicide bombings that have killed scores of Israelis since
the start of the 34-month-old uprising for statehood.
But it nonetheless set nerves on edge as Israel
prepared to free some 300 Palestinian prisoners as part of
the U.S.-led "Road Map" for peace in the region.
A police spokesman said that there was no apparent link
to militants and that forces were treating the incident as
a criminal underworld explosion.
Leading militant groups declared a three-month
ceasefire on June 29.
National police spokesman Gil Kleiman said the
explosion on a busy street killed one person and injured
two others in a car that Israel Radio said was owned by a
well-known Tel Aviv crime figure.
