Ayoung Jewish man has been arrested in Israel on suspicion of masterminding the wave of bomb threats made against Jewish centres in the US and around the world this year.
The 19-year-old man holds both Israeli and American citizenship and used “advanced camouflage technologies” to shield his location and throw investigators off his scent, Israeli police said.
The arrest is another strange twist in the story of around 150 bomb threats made against Jewish schools, community centres and synagogues in the US since January.
The unrelenting string of calls rattled America’s Jewish community and led to accusations that Donald Trump’s White House was not doing enough to speak out against the anti-Semitic threats.
Many analysts suspected the threats were being made by American white supremacists who may have felt emboldened by the election of Donald Trump.
But three weeks ago the FBI arrested a black, Left-wing American reporter named Juan Thompson on suspicion of making at least some of the threats. US prosecutors said he made eight threatening calls as a way of harassing and intimidating his ex-girlfriend.
It was not clear what motivations the Jewish man might have for allegedly making the threats in the US as well as in Australia and New Zealand but he appears to have mental problems.
He is alleged to have been making the threats for several years and Israeli police said he was responsible for forcing a Delta airlines flight to make an emergency landing in 2015.
