Palestinian-Canadian claims confession coerced
Jamal Khatib, the attorney of a
Palestinian-Canadian who was recently arrested by
Israeli security services for allegedly planning
attacks on Israelis and Jews overseas, said Monday
that his client's confession was coerced using
torture, Army Radio reported.

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 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 immigrated 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.
