Title: Arrest of Released Palestinian Prisoner for Killing Shin Bet Operative

Israeli authorities have arrested a released Palestinian prisoner accused of murdering a Shin Bet operative, Yuha Avni, in the settlement of Givon HaHadashah near Ramallah. The Hebrew newspaper "Haaretz" reported today, Monday, that the Shin Bet and Israeli police allowed the publication of the arrest of Ibrahim Mansour, a Palestinian from the village of Biddu, in his twenties, on charges of killing a prison guard. Two weeks ago, the body of Avni, 40, was found with stab wounds to the neck in his home, which had caught fire. The Israeli guard had previously received threats from Palestinian prisoners, suggesting that this may be a politically motivated killing.
