JERUSALEM, August 19.
Hundreds of Jewish youths rioted in the Arab sector of East Jerusalem last night after a series of grenade explosions throughout the city.
Nine people were injured, two seriously, in the blasts. They included a pregnant woman and four girls. After the explosions, Jewish
youths stoned Arab taxis near Damascus Gate, smashed windows and assaulted passers-by. Police rushed to the Arab sector, cordoned off the area and. using batons and riot shields, dispersed the Jewish youths, some of whom were wounded. Seven were arrested. Three Arabs were taken to hospital, two of them seriously injured. The police then intensified their hunt for the Arab terrorists who planted the grenades, which were fitted with delayed fuses.
