Police who were searching for the murderers of Abraham Goluthman, slain during a hold-up of a motor bus Tuesday night, today discovered a cache of 250 pieces of explosives in an Arab house in the village of Artach.
Six Arabs of Tul Karem, near where the hold-up was staged, were under arrest today, charged with waylaying the bus, killing Goluthman and seriously wounding an Arab passenger.
A report was being circulated today that Goluthman, who was one of the founders of the Jewish colony of Nahalal, was killed by a shot fired from inside the bus.
