A 60-year-old Jew was killed and a number of other Jews were injured last night when a bomb exploded in the Jewish quarter of the city.

The incident followed the bombing last week of a Jewish-owned grocery shop, causing considerable damage. The owner of the shop, Tordjman David, said that agents of the rebel FLN organization had visited his shop earlier, demanding a contribution of funds to their cause. The bombing of the shop was apparently a reprisal measure for his refusal to contribute.
