Trans-Atlantic Investigation: Jewish Groups

trans-atlantic investigation: U.S. Jewish groups welcomed the breakthrough in the case, which had raised concerns of rising anti-Semitism and drawn condemnation from President Donald Trump, according to Hamilton Spectator. Israeli police described the suspect as a hacker, but said his motives were still unclear. The surprising arrest of the Jewish man, who holds dual Israeli and American citizenship, came after a trans-Atlantic investigation with the FBI and other international law enforcement agencies. He's the guy who was behind the JCC threats, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said, referring to the scores of anonymous threats phoned in to Jewish community centres in the U.S. over the past two months. During the arrest raid, they said he tried to grab an officer's gun but was stopped by another officer. Police banned publication of his name, but said he was a dual citizen and would remain in custody until at least March 30. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
