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.
