Three Arab students were killed last night by an explosion in the home of one of them while apparently trying to manufacture a home made bomb according to instructions broadcast by Arab terrorist radios in neighboring countries. The incident occurred in Shweika village near Tulkarem on the West Bank. Israeli police arrested eight other local students identified as friends of the three killed. The bodies of the students were found in the debris of a room that contained a variety of chemicals and parts of detonating devices. One of the dead youths had been taking a corresponding course from Beirut University.
