Court allows only 2-day arrest of fugitive terrorist's father
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. January 5, 2016, 5:45 PM (IDT)
A district court in Haifa turned down the police's request to extend the arrest of Mohammed Melhem, father of fugitive terrorist Nashat Melhem, for 12 days on suspicion of assisting murder and of belonging to an illegal organization, permitting the arrest for just two days. The court also turned down the police's request to arrest the terrorist's brother Jawad Melhem and instead ordered him placed under house arrest for five days.
DEBKAfile: The court's decision is a serious blow to the investigation. It seems that the police, at the instruction of Commissioner Roni Alsheikh, is refusing to present the court, as well as the public, with information.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
