'I Think He's Nuts'

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Moshe Bik, a Hasidic Jew, believes he was on a
mission from God when he pulled the plug on a cellular telephone that was
attached as a detonator to a bomb planted in his ultra-Orthodox
neighborhood in Jerusalem.

Several minutes after the bearded, 36-year-old seminary student severed
the connection on Thursday, the phone rang, a signal which police said
would have triggered an explosion next to a school.

"I was the messenger sent from Heaven to neutralize the bomb," the
Maariv daily quoted Bik as saying on Friday.

Spotting a knapsack on the pavement, Bik opened the bag and found two
mortar shells connected by wires to a cellular telephone. So he gave the
wires a tug and removed the phone.

Police believe the device was planted by Palestinian guerrillas -- and
issued a warning to the public to leave suspicious objects to their
explosives experts.

"I think he's nuts," Bik's wife, Leah, told reporters.
