Jerusalem downtown in lockdown after terror attack thwarted
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. July 17, 2016, 10:15 AM (IDT)
A vigilant security guard on Jerusalem’s light train averted a terror attack Sunday morning. The search of a man who aroused his suspicions found him to be carrying a bag full of pipe bombs and other explosive devices. Police, who were called in, defused the devices and cordoned off Jaffa St. and King George, two main thoroughfares at the heart of Jerusalem to vehicles and pedestrians. The train service, which cuts through Palestinian and Jewish suburbs of the capital to ther town center, was suspended.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
