Four members of the Israel border police were injured, one seriously, when a jeep in which they were making a routine border patrol last night in the Jerusalem corridor struck a mine, which exploded. The mine was believed to have been planted by members of the El Fatah terrorist organization currently believed to be operating from Jordanian territory. The mine had been placed about a half mile from the Jordanian border.
