Main Underground Suspect is Released
19:28 Sep 09, '03 / 12 Elul 5763

The alleged "second Jewish underground" appears to be sizzling down to nothing, or at most very little. The main suspect in the case, Sela Tor - about whom the GSS leaked that he was suspected of "murder" - was released this afternoon. No indictment is expected to be served against him. Tor was incarcerated for three weeks, most of the time without being allowed to meet with a lawyer or his family.

Seven of the more than a dozen original suspects remain in prison, only two of whom have been indicted: Yitzchak Pass, whose baby daughter Shalhevet was murdered with a bullet to her head by a Palestinian terrorist in Hevron, and his brother-in-law Mati Shvo - for possession of dynamite. It has been reported that only two of the suspects did not maintain the right to remain silent. Last week, a judge threatened the GSS that if it did not produce evidence linking the suspects with the crimes, they would be released. Several suspects have in fact been released since then; the remand of David Libman, who is incarcerated in the same Ashkelon prison as the terrorist murderers of his brother Shlomo, was extended until Thursday, and that of Yisachar Peretz until Friday. Itim News Agency reported in the name of security sources that "only minor indictments will be served - but not on the suspicions that had been raised concerning attacks against [Arabs]."

Atty. Naftali Wurtzberger, who represented most of the suspects, has said all along that the GSS has blown the suspicions and the case way out of proportion. He said today that the courts, too, did not sufficiently use their authority to demand that the GSS produce concrete evidence when demanding extensions of custody. Most of the suspects were held for up to two weeks without being allowed to see lawyers.

The "Jewish Underground" are suspects in 9 unsolved murders of Arabs over a period of 3 years. Compare this to 1400 murders of Jews during the same time frame for which Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Al-Aqsa Brigades not only claimed credit but danced in the streets and passed out candy.

I have no disagreement with what you posted. I am, however, glad, that Israel does not condone murder. I am very glad that Israel is a nation governed by law.

Indeed, the legal action shows how different Israel and the PA are.

Probably killed by PA terrorists for even chatting with Jews and blamed on the "Jewish Underground"...which sounds AMAZINGLY similar fo Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. 'Course, we already knew Hillary and Yasser learned propaganda from der Fuhrer.
