The Jerusalem district court today ordered that Allan Harry Goodman, accused of opening fire at the Temple Mount last month, during which two Arabs were killed and 30 people were wounded, be held for an additional 15 days. Goodman was originally ordered held for 15 days pending his trial when he was arraigned at a court here shortly after the incident.
Goodman, a 38-year-old bachelor from Baltimore, Md., who immigrated to Israel 14 months ago, was indicted last Friday on one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder. The charge sheet said he intended to “liberate” the Temple Mount. The prosecutor originally asked that Goodman be held until the end of the proceedings, but Goodman’s attorney asked that he be held for a shorter period. The request was granted.
