Police Rule Out Terrorism in Jewish Neighborhood Car Bombing That Severed Man's Leg
The Associated Press
Published: Mar 24, 2002
NEW YORK (AP) - A bomb exploded Sunday in a van in one of Brooklyn's busiest Jewish neighborhoods, severing a man's leg, but police ruled out terrorism.
The "fairly sophisticated" bomb likely was planted in the van rented by Yisroel Halberstam because of a personal dispute, said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. He would not give details, but said a car Halberstam rented about two weeks ago was set on fire.

The bomb exploded on the driver's side of the van when Halberstam opened the door, Kelly said.

Halberstam, 46, who owns a home electronics store, was in critical condition, said Bellevue Hospital spokesman Peter Schectman.

State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who represents the Borough Park district, said residents had jumped to the conclusion that the explosion was terrorism-related.
