One hundred and fifty Arabs were detained for questioning today in the aftermath of two explosions in a Jerusalem suburb which slightly injured a number of boys. The first explosion occurred in a residential building adjacent to a busy commercial center in Kiryat Yovel; the second an hour later among trees in the same neighborhood. The injured youngsters were part of a crowd that gathered after the first blast. They received first aid treatment but none required hospitalization. Most of the Arabs detained are from the occupied territories, police said. The suspects include a number of women.
