Israeli Soldier
Shot Hitchhiking
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Avraham Deutsch, a 32-
year-old reserve soldier was
killed by gunfire last week
as he was hitchhiking near
the Rockefeller Museum at
the Old City's wall.
A police spokesman said
the shooting was done by
"hostile elements," possibly
terrorists. Security forces
launched a wide-spread
manhunt throughout the
area in an effort to ap-
prehend the killers.
The museum corner has
often been the site of attacks
against soldiers waiting to
get a ride in the direction of
Jericho.
About 11 hours after the
fatality, an Arab resident of
East Jerusalem was
wounded by gunfire near
the museum. Police de-
tained a civil guard as a
suspect in the incident, but
declined to identify the
guard, the circumstances
under which the shooting
took place, or the name of
the victim.
