An Israeli Arab was indicted Tuesday for the August murder of a Jewish couple hiking in a forest in northern Israel. Police said Abdullah Igbariya, 20, planned to use the couple’s car as a car bomb, but they arrested him before he could do so. He was arrested days before three other Israeli Arabs were killed when they carried out car bombings in Haifa and Tiberias.
