Jerusalem
police arrested a 36-year-old man who is suspected of building four
explosive devices for criminal purposes, police announced on Wednesday.
The man was arrested two weeks ago while driving in the Ramat Eshkol
neighborhood of Jerusalem when the police found a bomb in the back of
his Mazda.
“At this point, we think it is criminal and not
security-related,” said Police Supt. Asher Lizmi on Wednesday. Police
believe Hanan Yadgrov, a resident of Pisgat Zev, was trying to sell the
bombs. Yadgrov served seven years in prison for similar offenses and was
released about a year and a half ago. As the investigation is still
ongoing, police refused to say whether or not the man was working in
cooperation with any known crime families.
