Here we are again entering the season for pride in many major cities around the world.  And here we are again reading about an attack on those festivities in Jerusalem.  The attack never made it to the actual march, but it was planned to.

An early morning explosion outside Jerusalem April 20 has been linked to the discovery of leaflets condemning this year’s gay pride march in the holy city. The detonation occurred in the vineyard of Beit Jamal monastery when a tractor drove over a pipe bomb device, resulting in minor injuries to the driver. Police are eyeing Ultra-Orthodox organizations, such as the ones that have threatened past marches, in the incident. As yet, it is not clear why the bomb was placed in the vineyard, but anti-pride march leaflets were discovered nearby. Police suspect that Ultra Orthodox Jews from Ramat Beit Shemesh, located near the monastery, may be involved.
