Muslim in east Jerusalem indicted for plotting shooting
This seems to be related to this story, as the culprit in this case was a friend of the BMW villain, who tried to buy a gun with which to carry out an assault:
An east Jerusalem Arab was indicted on Wednesday in the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court for connection with acts of terror.I think I can guess how "sequel crimes" can occur if we let down our guard.
Hadad Ja'abis, 28, of Jebl Mukaber, was a friend of Kassem Mughrabi, who was killed when he rammed his BMW into a group of soldiers and civilians at Jerusalem's Kikar Tzahal two weeks ago.
The 28-year-old was accused of attempting to purchase a hand gun in order to carry out a terror attack in the city, allegedly in either the suburb of Neve Ya'akov, or at the Haas Promenade in Armon Hanatziv, also in Jerusalem.
According to the charge sheet, Ja'abis went to console mourners at the Mughrabi house, and was asked to acquire a weapon "to murder Jews." He apparently made the decision to plan an attack shortly after his friend perpetrated the Kikar Tzahal attack.
The court ordered Ja'abris to house arrest on Tuesday, and he was remanded again on Wednesday until proceedings continue next week.
