Jewish Defense League leader Meir Kahane was jailed again on a new unrevealed charge, only minutes after he was released from 48-hour custody in connection with another offense. The Magistrate’s court ordered Rabbi Kahane held for 15 days on the basis of secret information submitted to Judge Aharon Simcha by State Attorney Gavreil Bach. The State Attorney would only say Kahane was suspected of conspiracy to have others commit acts of violence in a foreign country. The court banned publication of the charges.
