The arrests were carried out a week after the attack, which wounded two other policemen, but were only made public Monday in a statement released to the media. The names of the arrested men were not released, and it was not possible to confirm the details with their families or lawyers. Hamas Web sites mentioned the arrests but did not explicitly link the group to the attack Monday. Posted by: Fred 2010-07-20 |
