A suicide-bomber’s vest containing 10-15 kilograms of explosives was found this morning in the Arab village of Hizme, on Jerusalem’s northern border near Pisgat Ze’ev.

Security forces, with the assistance of bomb-sniffing dogs and acting upon intelligence warnings, found the explosives in a private home - and subsequently blew up the building. The bomb was apparently intended for an attack in the capital. Jerusalem Police Chief Mickey Levy said today that intelligence warnings of a non-specific nature have been received for Jerusalem.
