Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israel Prisons Service says it recently prevented an assassination attempt against a prisoner by a fellow prisoner.
The attempt, whose details remain under wraps while the investigation is underway, involved smuggling poison into the prison and poisoning the target.
The motive, say investigators, was a power struggle among prisoners within the prison.
According to the Prisons Service intelligence branch, the suspect employed someone on the outside to carry out the assassination.
