A woman was slightly injured when a bomb exploded under a car this morning in Sanhedrin, a religious quarter on the northern outskirts of Jerusalem. The front of the car was badly damaged. The vehicle had Swiss license plates and belongs to a physician employed by the government. The injured woman was identified as Varda Grinberg, 60, who was passing by when the bomb exploded. It was the second explosion in a Jerusalem residential area in recent days. The earlier one also involved a bomb placed under a car. It occurred in the Rehavia quarter, one of the oldest Jerusalem neighborhoods outside the Old City walls.
