No Proof Linking Disengagement Opponents to Planned Terror Attack in Rehovot

"Four months after two opponents to the disengagement plan were arrested for allegedly planning to blow up a Rehovot building, authorities admit they have no proof to back up the allegations.

On August 15th, police announced that 22-year-old Eliran Maimon and a 17-year-old, both labeled as “right-wing extremists,” were planning to blow up at building located at 11 Upjohn Street in Rehovot. The news received national media coverage, leading the public to believe the anti-disengagement movement was now prepared to carry out a terror attack and claim innocent lives.

Now, four months later, authorities are unable to tie the suspects to the anti-disengagement graffiti found at the scene or to any other planned or past terror attack, admitting the “proof” that existed at the time was circumstantial evidence at best.

Responding to the report, police spokeswoman Superintendent Leah Zohar stated the case against the two has not been closed."
