NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Israeli police have arrested a 19-year-old Israeli Jewish man as the primary suspect in a string of bomb threats targeting Jewish community centers in the U.S.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said Thursday that the suspect is “the guy who was behind the JCC threats,” referring to Jewish community centers in the U.S. that have received dozens of anonymous threats in recent weeks.

The man, from the south of Israel, used advanced technologies to mask the origin of his calls and communications to synagogues, community buildings and public venues, Rosenfeld said. The suspect also made threats in New Zealand and Australia.

The investigation was carried out with the help of the FBI and police from other countries, Rosenfeld said.

3. No one knows what goes on in the mind of such an individual, but it is

plausible that the motive was to falsely shed negative dispersion over a particular group.

Very sad, and very sick.

Glad they caught the jerk
