GAZA, March 4 (KUNA) -- One Israeli was killed and 12 others injured in a motorcycle explosion in the city of Haifa, Israel Radio said on Thursday.
The radio report said the bike exploded as result of improvised bomb carried by the driver who targeted a bus full of passengers.
The Israeli radio said fire broke out at the rear of the bus which caused many injuries due to suffocation and shock -- including bystanders.
Israeli police are investigating whether the incident was caused by Israeli criminal gangs whose activities noticeably spread in the past several years. (end) mt.mb KUNA 050018 Mar 10NNNN
