TEL AVIV, Aug. 30 (UPI) — Explosives inside a cart blew up today in the occupied West Bank town of Nablus, killing an 8-year-old Arab girl and wounding 14 people in the open-air market, an Israeli military spokesman said.

Among the wounded was the man wheeling the cart, who the army said was a suspected Palestinian guerrilla transfering the explosives through the crowded market. “This is purely a terrorist project,” an army spokesman asserted. The 8-year-old daughter of a cigarette vendor was killed by the explosion, the army radio said.

The wounded, including one person who was seriously hurt, were taken to a Nablus hospital.
