NABLUS, West Bank, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Authorities outside the West Bank city of Nablus arrested a Palestinian man Saturday after learning he was carrying two knives and a pipe bomb.
The Jerusalem Post reported the unidentified suspect was detained at the Hawarah checkpoint and taken in for questioning, while his homemade bomb was safely detonated by sappers.
Palestinians also have been blamed for an attack on an Israeli car in the city of Ramallah Saturday, that resulted in no deaths or injuries despite the use of six Molotov cocktails.
The Post said Palestinians were the main suspects in an earlier mortar attack in the desert Negev region, which also did not result in damage or injury.
The noted Palestinian groups, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, have labeled regional rocket attacks as a response to Israel's continued military efforts in the Gaza Strip.
