One hurt in bus blast near Tel Aviv

[oberliner]

A policeman was lightly hurt in an explosion Sunday on a bus in Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv, as sappers were working to defuse a bomb in a bag. The dozen passengers on bus no. 240 had been evacuated by the bus driver beforehand, when it became clear that an unclaimed bag with protruding wires was a possible danger.

The police officer was taken to Edith Wolfson Medical Center in Holon, following the explosion on the bus, which had been making its way from Bat Yam to Bnei Brak. The bus had stopped at the junction of Mivtza Sinai and Katznelson streets when the blast took place.
