A Border Police canine team found a pipe bomb by a Jerusalem checkpoint this morning (Friday).
Sergeant major Erez Cohen and his canine partner Taz were inspecting the eastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawyia, when Taz signaled that there was an explosive nearby. Someone had placed a pipe bomb close to the checkpoint that leads from Issawiya toward Ma'aleh Adumim.
The site was sealed off, an explosives team was called, and the bomb was eliminated through a controlled explosion. No one was harmed during the incident.
