57-year-old man hurt in believed criminal assassination attempt in Jerusalem
A 57-year-old man was moderately-to-seriously wounded on Wednesday morning, apparently from an explosive device planted on his car in Jerusalem in what is believed to be a criminal assassination attempt.
The wounded man, who is known to police, has prior convictions and is affiliated with criminals in Jerusalem.
Police launched an investigation into the alleged assassination attempt, and the working assumption is that a crime organization in a feud with the wounded man is behind the attempt on his life.
The man was taken to the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem's Ein Karem for treatment.
