Haifa youth suspected of terror attacks on Arabs ruled fit for trial

[newyorican]

Haifa District Court on Sunday determined that Eliran Golan, suspected of attempting to carry out terror attacks on Arabs and Jews in Haifa, is mentally capable of standing trial.

This ruling contradicts an earlier psychiatric opinion submitted by the public defender representing Golan suggesting he is not able to stand trial and was not responsible for his actions.

Golan is suspected of having placed nine bombs in the Haifa area, with his targets including a mosque, Arab-owned homes and cars, Jews he believed had befriended Arabs, and Golan's employer at a messenger service. Some of the improvised bombs exploded, wounding a number of people.
