A reward of £2,000, approximately 8,000, was announced today by Palestine police headquarters for information leading to the capture of the persons responsible for the bomb explosion in Tel Aviv last Tuesday, which took the lives of three policemen. An additional 1,000 reward was announced by the police, payable to anyone revealing the whereabouts of a certain M. Stern, who, according to the police authorities, is the head of “Jewish terrorist groups.”
The outbreak of terrorism spread to Haifa last Saturday evening when a hand grenade was thrown into a crowded Jewish cafe in the Hadar Hacarmel quarter of the city. Fortunately, the bomb did not explode. The person who threw the grenade escaped under cover of darkness. Abraham Tabori, a member of the Palestine Labor Council, was blackjacked by three unknown assailants the same evening in Tel Aviv. Tabori was seriously injured and had to be rushed to the Hadassah hospital for treatment.
The executive of the Jewish National Council today issued a manifesto vigorously condemning the outbreak of terrorism. “We will not tolerate a small terrorist group which aims to impose a reign. of terror on Palestine and the Yishuv,” the manifesto said.
