Jerusalem blast kills 3 at Mahane Yehuda market
Arab guerrillas exploded a bomb at a busy vegetable market in Jerusalem on the eve of Vice President Mondale's visit, killing at least three and injuring more than 40. The Palestine Liberation Organization claimed responsibility. Police made several arrests as witnesses described suspects fleeing the scene. The blast targeted shoppers ahead of the Sabbath in a crate of vegetables from the old city. Mayor Teddy Kollek viewed the scene and said the attack aimed to undercut Mondale's visit and Jerusalem's unity. Mondale was en route to Washington for a goodwill trip, with private plans to visit the Wailing Wall sparking debate over security and protocol.
