A Palestinian accused of an attempted bombing in Jerusalem two months ago acted alone, Israeli police said. Jalal Rummana was severely burned at a Jerusalem intersection in July when a fire broke out in his van, which contained flammable liquid and bags of nails. He served 20 months in an Israeli jail in the early 1990s for membership in Hamas, but police said he was not acting in concert with the group during the latest incident.
