'Car explosion' in Tel Aviv
Israeli police have said that an explosion has gone off in a car in Tel Aviv but that there is a "strong possibility" it is a criminal act. Several people have been hurt in the blast, according to Reuters.
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.
