Police arrest suspects in Galilee mosque attack

2^min

Police have arrested suspects in the torching of a mosque in the Beduin village of Tuba Zanghariya in the Galilee in early October, police announced on Sunday. The suspect, a minor, was arrested on Friday and brought before the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court on Sunday morning, where his remand was extended by five days.

Police said Sunday that the minor is also a suspect in the torching of a mosque in the West Bank village of Fajar near Hebron in October 2010.

The minor’s attorney, Adi Kedar, said his client denies all charges against him, and is currently exercising his right to remain silent. Kedar, who represents the other two suspects in the arson, is on retainer from the organization “Honenu,” which represents Jews charged with acts of violence against Arabs.

Days after the torching of the Tuba Zanghariya mosque, police arrested the first of two additional suspects, both of whom are minors who study at a yeshiva in the West Bank.

Both suspects were released a week ago.
