Palestinian policeman arrested in Jerusalem for illegal weapons possession
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli security forces arrest a Palestinian Authority police officer in the Palestinian neighborhood of A-Ram, north of Jerusalem, police say in a statement.
The officer is arrested after a search of his home uncovered a Carl Gustav submachine gun and ammunition.
This type of homemade or craft-produced rudimentary automatic weapon has been used in the majority of shooting attacks on Israeli civilians and security personnel.
Security forces have had some success in cracking down on these weapons, locating three small-scale production and storage facilities in the West Bank last year.
