- Jerusalem police who Wednesday discovered a bomb lab
run by an Israeli Jew believe that the explosives were to be sold to criminals,
although are still investigating whether he planned to sell to Palestinian
militants as well.
-
- Hanan Yadgarov, 29, from Pisgat Ze'ev was arrested two
weeks ago after selling a three-kilogram bomb to an undercover police officer
for NIS 25,000, said the city police spokesman, Shmulik Ben-Ruby.
-
- Yadgarov was remanded for 10 days.
-
- Police found explosives, ready-to-use bombs, Israeli
and Russian army uniforms, police uniforms and bomb detonators in a Jerusalem
apartment, Ben-Ruby said.
-
- The undercover police officer asked Yadgarov "if
it [the bomb] could also blow up on buses and he said yes," Ben-Ruby
said.
-
- He said Yadgarov's motives were still under investigation,
although police sources say he was in the business of selling explosives
to criminals rather than terrorists.
