In a joint police-Shin.Bet operation, the seven, aged 19-26, were arrested in 05/2010 for a series of attacks that were carried out with nationalistic motivations, the security agency said. The suspects used to pray and got acquainted to each other in Shihab a-Din Mosque in Nazareth, led by the Radical Imam Nazim Abu Salim, aka Abu Osama Al-Nasiri.
Some of those arrested were allegedly involved in the murder of taxi driver Yafim Weinstein, who was killed, on 11/30/2009 night, in Kfar Hahoresh near Nazareth, as well as other attacks. The Shin.Bet also found that two of the men: 1 – Ahmed Ali Ahmed, 21, and 2 –Galeb Ganayim, 22, flew to Ethiopia in 04/2010 in order to join al-Shabab in Somalia and fight “infidels”. They failed to cross into Somalia from Ethiopia and moved to Kenya. In Kenya were caught by the Kenyan authorities on the border with Somalia and handed over back to Israel.
