Eyewitness 'saw package thrown at car before explosion'
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says that he believes the explosion is criminal but can not definitively rule out a political motive. Local media is quoting an eyewitness who says he saw a motorcyclist throw a package towards the car that exploded.
Assassination by bomb has become a favourite method for Israeli criminal gangs to settle disputes in recent years.
