Palestinian carrying explosives arrested trying to board Jerusalem Light Rail

Snips:

A Palestinian man in his 20s was arrested on Sunday morning at a light rail station in central Jerusalem carrying explosive devices.

Large police forces arrived at the scene and a police bomb squad found three pipe bombs in his bag. King George and Jaffa Streets were closed to traffic and the light rail was stopped along the same line for some time before resuming service.

Jerusalem Police District commander Yoram Halevi said that a "large attack" had been prevented.

"The plan was seemingly to attack the light rail," said Halevi. "Knives were also found in his bag, so it seems that the terrorist planned a mixed attack of explosions and stabbings."
