A new report citing the indictment against a suspect in the October 2000 riots reveals he actively planned abduction and murder attacks, obtained a knife from Kibbutz Kabri, and told a victim 'I'll cut your head off.' He was also charged with aggravated assault for wounding a Border Police officer with an axe.
The Zioneer previously reported on the indictment against the suspect, who was charged with planning abduction and murder during the October 2000 riots. New details from the indictment, reported Tuesday morning, show the suspect told one of the victims, Yishai Por, 'I'll cut your head off.' The indictment also states he stole a harvesting knife from a banana plantation at Kibbutz Kabri to carry out the cell's plans, and that he wounded a Border Police officer in the neck with an axe during a search attempt. The case underscores the violent nature of the October 2000 riots and the subsequent legal proceedings against participants.
