The death toll in the Arab ambush on Monday of a taxicab near Acre, in which four Jewish passengers were slain, was raised today to six with the discovery of the bodies of a missing passenger and the driver.
The body of Miss Allegra Mozeri, 18, of Haifa, was found near Nazareth, some miles south of the scene of the attack. The driver, named Schichrur (originally reported as Zacharov) was found near Safed. Both bodies were taken to Acre whence they will be transported to Haifa for burial.
Police tracking the band that ambushed the taxi came to the Arab village of Islam, where it was found that all the men were absent. A collective fine of $1,500 was imposed on the village. Heavy firing was reported last night at Migdal, Sejera and Juarrah.
