Faction Pushes Who Is a Jew'

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A

circumstances improve its
chances for passage.

They will be awarded the

Bomb Attack
Injures 12

TEL AVIV (JTA) — More
than 100 persons have been
detained for questioning
since police dragnets began
rounding up suspects in a
grenade attack that
wounded 11 passengers and
the driver of a bus near the
central bus terminal here
Saturday night.
Most of the injuries were
slight, police said. But the
attack was the most serious
in Tel Aviv since 1975 and
was the subject of a briefing
by security officials at Sun-
day's Cabinet meeting.
The public has been
alerted to a possible wave of
terrorist acts inside Israel
coincidental with the cur-
rent negotiations for the
withdi-awal of Israeli forces
from Lebanon.
