Israel - The Jerusalem District Attorney today filed an indictment in the District Court against three Arab residents of the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood in East Jerusalem for planning to carry out a shooting at a banquet hall clad as Haredi Orthodox Jews.
Maariv (http://bit.ly/Lyki00) reports that the suspects, ages 19-21, are accused of conspiring to aid the enemy in wartime.
According to the indictment, in December 2013 the men decided to carry out a terrorist attack against Israelis in Jerusalem to aid terrorist efforts against Israel by Palestinian terrorist organizations.
They decided to carry out the attack in a Jerusalem banquet hall to kill the largest possible number of Jews. The banquet hall could see from 800 to 1,500 guests for events at any time.
The men planned to arrive at the hall dressed in Orthodox garb and had “mini Uzis” purchased from an arms dealer to carry out the attack, stating the weapons were suitable for the attack because of their small size and shooting ability to kill large numbers of people.
