Blog #1: Organized Crime in Israeli


                On Thursday , January 10th, a car exploded in Tel Aviv, which is a city in Israeli. There were four people injured in this explosion due to shrapnel from the blast. It is thought that this was a potential assassination attempt by an organized crime group, “Police say they believe the strike was an assassination attempt related to organized crime.” The process in which this explosion was set off is still being investigated, as well as who may be responsible for this incident. It is very interesting however that two months ago in Tel Aviv, a similar explosion occurred, this one on a bus that injured 24 people.
                My first thought when I saw this article was that since it took place in Israeli it was probably a terrorist attack by a Jihad organization.  On the other hand, maybe it was an act of terrorism and this suspicion about it being an organized crime attack is just a cover up by the Israeli government. The connection between this attack and the attack two months ago doesn’t seem to be just a coincidence, especially since it occurred in the same city, Tel Aviv. Since not much is known about this story at the time, I am hoping some new evidence is revealed soon, a connection between these two fairly recent events has the potential for rather interesting outcome.
