Police indict man who allegedly threatened to kill Netanyahu

Police prosecutors file an indictment against a man in his 40s who allegedly threatened to assassinate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Police say the suspect burst into the Kiryat Gat police station on Monday, the eve of Rosh Hashanah, threatened officers and announced his intention to buy a gun and shoot the premier three times.

He was arrested on the spot and interrogated at the station, where he was then taken into custody.

Alongside the indictment filed today by police, officers also request to keep him in detention until the end of legal proceedings against him.
