Explosions In
Jerusalem; Govt.
JERUSALEM, bP)—Eight mys
terious explosions, shattering the
peace of the Jewish New Year fes
tival of Rush Hoshanah in Jeru
salem, were reported during the
night, and police today still were
trying to find out where they oc
curred.
The blasts, heard in widely scat
tered areas in new sections of the
Holy City, set off two general
alarms, one lasting 35 minutes and
the second about an hour.
‘‘I know you’ll think it funny,”
a government official told ques
tioning reporters, ‘‘but police have
been working all night and failed
to find any traces of the explo
sions.”
