Police say of the dozens of suspects arrested following Friday night’s deadly shooting attack in Jerusalem, five are to remain held over suspicions they were involved in the attack.

Police say the terrorist’s mother will remain in custody until February 1, and two additional suspects will be held until January 31.

The terrorist’s cousin will be brought before a court later today to extend his remand, police say.

And a Palestinian man from the West Bank who was arrested this morning will be brought for a remand hearing later this week, it adds.
