One Canadian tourist, James Lindsay, 29, of Nova Scotia, was hospitalized for a leg wound. His condition was not serious. Three Jews and two Arabs who suffered minor injuries were treated at a first aid station and released. Police said the bomb, a pipe filled with explosives, was concealed in a loaf of bread.
