Terrorist motives may have been behind three attacks on Israelis over the weekend, Israeli police believe. A guard for a private security company was listed in serious condition after being shot Saturday at a West Bank construction site. Also on Saturday, an 18-year-old soldier sustained light injuries when he was stabbed at a crowded Jerusalem bus stop. On Friday, a 49- year-old Orthodox Jewish man was in serious condition after being stabbed in Old Jerusalem. In a fourth incident, a Palestinian woman was prevented from stabbing an Israeli security guard in eastern Jerusalem on Sunday.
