Court extends remand of suspect accused of planning price tag attack

The Petah Tikva Magistrate’s Court rules to extended until Monday the remand of an Israeli suspect arrested early this morning reportedly en route to carry out a price tag attack.

The court also accepts the prosecution’s request to bar the 18-year-old suspect from meeting with an attorney during that four day period.

However, the court rejects the prosecution’s request to extend the remand of a 15-year-old accomplice, who was arrested along with the suspect after police pulled them over outside the Bat Ayin settlement.

The court orders that the minor be released to house arrest, but agrees to a stay in executing the decision to provide the prosecution with an opportunity to appeal the ruling.
