Police arrest third suspect in alleged Jewish terrorist affair


Israeli security forces on Sunday arrested a second man suspected of assisting alleged Jewish terrorist Chaim Pearlman in stabbing several Arabs in East Jerusalem

over an extended period of time. The suspect was released several hours after being taken into custody.

Far-right activist Pearlman, 29, was arrested in July for allegedly stabbing two Palestinians to death in 1998 and for a string of attacks on other Palestinian victims.
The Shin Bet two weeks arrested Jerusalem resident David Sitbon, 28, for allegedly supplying Pearlman with a weapon. It is unclear what type of weapon he allegedly provided Pearlman and whether it was used in the attacks under question.
