A six-year-old passerby discovered a bomb in Jerusalem's southern Talpiot business district late last night.

The explosive device, hidden in a bag, was lying in the street some 100 meters from two banquet halls.

The child alerted police who called in the bomb disposal squad.

Celebrants at the two halls were evacuated from the buildings as sappers safely blew up the powerful device in a controlled explosion at 04:00 this morning, Israel Radio reports.
