POLICE: TERRORIST BOMBER TARGETED JERUSALEM LIGHT RAIL:

Following the capture Sunday morning 17 July 2016, of a Palestinian Authority resident carrying a pack of explosive devices, Jerusalem District Police Commander Yoram HaLevy confirmed that the would-be bomber had targeted the Jerusalem light rail. The terrorist was intercepted by train security guards after arousing their suspicion. During questioning by the guards, the terrorist admitted that he was carrying bombs in his bag. The terrorist was distanced from the train and sections of Yafo and King George streets were shut down to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The terrorist was carrying a large explosive pack, which he intended to set off after he boarded the light rail train. The District Commander added that the bomber was stopped thanks to alert train guards. Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat praised the guards’ work, thanking them for warding off what could have potentially been a catastrophic attack.
