[Gimel]

The Shin Bet security service said Monday that it
is holding a Palestinian with a Canadian passport
who is suspected of being recruited by Hamas
militants in the Gaza Strip to carry out attacks
on Israelis and Jews in Canada and the United
States.

Jamal Akkal, 23, who was arrested in early November,
was born in the Nusseirat refugee camp in the Gaza
Strip and emigrated to Canada in 1999. While he was
visiting the Gaza Strip recently, he was allegedly
contacted by Hamas militant Ahmed Wahabe, who is
suspected of teaching Akkal to fire weapons and
prepare explosive devices.

Akkal is suspected of having received orders to
follow Israeli VIPs arriving in the U.S. and to
assassinate them using an M16 rifle. He was
also allegedly told to carry out attacks
against members of the Jewish communities in
Canada and the U.S.
