Road blocks were put up around East Talpiot and Talpiot suburbs of Jerusalem last night after two private cars were set on fire by explosives believed to have been thrown at them by Arab terrorists. Security forces searched several Arab villages near the residential suburb but no arrests were made.
Meanwhile, police and security forces are investigating terrorist attacks on two buses driven by Arabs in the Samaria district of the West Bank. The driver of an empty Egged bus reported to Jenin police this morning that his vehicle was boarded by unknown persons who ordered him out and set the bus on fire. Another driver told police his bus was peppered with small arms fire. There were no casualties in either incident.
