Israeli police arrested five people suspected of involvement in two car bomb attacks that occurred Sunday in Tiberias and Haifa. Police officials have indicated that Israeli Arabs may have been involved in the attacks. A gag order issued by the courts barred publication of details regarding the investigation, and police cautioned against unjustly stigmatizing an entire population. In Sunday’s near-simultaneous attacks, the bombs apparently exploded prematurely, killing the three occupants of the two cars and seriously injuring one Israeli woman.
