A car blew up Monday in Gaza City, wounding a lawyer in the vehicle and two bystanders, police said.
According to <i>Israel Radio</i>, the bombing was criminally motivated, but Palestinian police could not confirm that. The lawyer, identified as Majad Jasarwi, suffered serious injuries. The bystanders were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Police closed off the area after ambulances raced to the scene. Palestinians said Jasarwi, aged 55, is well-known but not politically involved. The Israeli military spokesman said the military was not involved in the incident.
