A demonstration demanding the opening of Palestine to surviving Jews from Europe and the cancellation of the White Paper was held here yesterday, following a mass-meeting of members of youth organizations called to protest against the stoppage of Jewish immigration.
During the demonstration a “leaflet bomb” exploded showering the demonstrators with broadsides signed by the Irgun Zvai Leumi, Jewish terrorist group, declaring that Irgun members tried several times to blast the Mosul oil pipe-line which terminates in Haifa, in retaliation for British policy with regard to the Jews in Palestine. Similar bombs exploded during the evening in Jerusalem.
