Suspects in mob attack on Eritrean get hearing before indictments

Four suspects in the mob attack on an Eritrean asylum seeker mistaken for a terrorist are summoned to a hearing before they are indicted, Channel 2 television reports.

The four were caught on film in Beersheba central bus station attacking 29-year-old Haftom Zarhum as he lay on the ground after he was shot by a security guard, who had also believed him involved in the deadly attack on a soldier moments earlier.

Zarhum died shortly afterward in hospital from what coroners determined to be internal bleeding from the gunshots.
