JERUSALEM (JTA) — A second suspect was arrested in connection with the burning of a mosque in a Bedouin-Arab town in northern Israel.
Few details have been released about the second suspect, who reportedly is a resident of the West Bank. He was scheduled to appear Monday in a Tel Aviv court for a hearing on extending his remand.
An 18-year old Jewish man from northern Israel was arrested hours after the Oct. 2 torching of the main mosque of the Upper Galilee town of Tuba Zanghariya. He reportedly studied at a West Bank yeshiva.
Both suspects are suspected of "direct involvement" in the arson attack, Israel police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told news agencies.
