Motive unclear as court gags details on Afula bus driver stabbing

Nazareth Magistrate Court judge Naaman Edris says he is not convinced the man suspected of stabbing bus driver Shimon Gabai last night in Afula acted out of nationalist motives, according to reports in Hebrew media.

The motive for a stabbing of a bus driver in the northern city remains unclear, as the court issues a a gag order on the details surrounding the light night attack.

The remand of the 28-year-old man arrested overnight in connection with the stabbing was extended for 10 days, though police did not say whether he was suspected of stabbing Gabai.
