Five Jerusalem area Arabs were arrested Monday in connection with the unsolved disappearance a month ago of Yussuf Nasser, publisher of the East Jerusalem Arabic newspaper El Fajr. Police refused to disclose information about the suspects except that they are aged between 23-24. Yussef was a controversial journalist whose paper was pro-Palestinian and anti-Hussein. Police believe he may have been kidnapped for political reasons.
