Court extends remand of 'Jewish Terrorist'

A Petah Tikva court extended the remand of Yaakov (Jack) Teitel by a week on Wednesday morning.

Police suspect that Teitel, who has confessed to murdering two Palestinians and carrying out a long list of other, less deadly, terror attacks, also killed two traffic policemen in the Jordan Valley eight months ago - a crime originally attributed to Palestinian terrorists.

Police and General Security Services officials declared on Monday that they solved a series of terror acts that took place in the last twelve years, but the story changed on Wednesday.

Police now claim that they need to extend Teitel's remand and asked to keep the details of the case under wraps since the investigation is still progressing and there are matters that are yet to be solved.

The policemen, Warrant Officer David Rabinowitz and Senior Warrant Officer Yehezkel Ramzarkar, were shot while sitting in their patrol vehicle near Moshav Massua. The subsequent investigation indicated that the assailant had lain in wait at the turn-off from the main road to Massua and did something to make them stop and roll down their window. He then shot them from point-blank range. No damage was done to the vehicle, and nothing was taken from it.

Teitel denied responsibility for these murders, and it is not clear what evidence the police have against him. But a police source said yesterday that Teitel's modus operandi in the crimes he has admitted to "precisely matches" that of the policemen's murder.

Discussions over the case of Yosef Espinoza, who is suspected of involvement in Teitel's crimes, will take place Wednesday afternoon.

According to police indications, it is possible that they are attempting to convince Espinoza to testify against Teitel, and therefore asked the court not to allow Teitel's lawyer to also represent Espinoza, fearing a conflict of interest.
