Jewish Teen Arrested In Israel For US Bomb Threats

NO MOTIVE KNOWN YET:


Jerusalem (CNN)A Jewish teenager was arrested in connection with a series of bomb threats that have rattled Jewish institutions and community centers across the US and another countries, Israeli police said Thursday.

Israeli police worked with the FBI during the months-long undercover investigation to identify the 19-year-old suspect, who used "advanced camouflage technologies" to cover his tracks, Rosenfeld said.

The suspect holds dual American-Israeli citizenship, an Israeli security official told CNN.

The threats were made against sites in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. In one case, an airline had to make an emergency landing because of the threats, Rosenfeld said.

1. What was his MO?

Was he anti-Zionist/anti-U.S.

Or did he plan all the destruction and have it blamed on "radical Islamic terrorists", Hamas, the PLO, Arabs generally?

he's had a brain tumor since age 14 (reason the IDF rejected him). But that is from his attorney and I'd like a better source. Got that information here:

The recruiters deemed him unfit for military service.

Sources in Israel also say that he called in some sort of threat to delta airlines last year.

so let the CIA interrogate him using Trump-approved techniques in a secure undisclosed facility and he will be a muslim by the time they're done with him.

It does make one look up the definition of anti semitism. Will he be charged with terrorism? Will he be executed?
