The Israeli Police Monday disclosed that the suspected killer of Lod policeman, who was shot dead in March, had been handed over by the Jordanian authorities.  

 

Suspect Rubin Abu Zayad was arrested in Jordan, carrying a forged Belgian passport, and handed over to Israel last week. The Israeli media refrained from publishing any details of how Abu Zayad reached Jordan.  

 

The Israeli policeman was shot to death allegedly by Abu Zayad when he stopped his car in Lod for a check on March 3. Police had placed a high priority on tracking down Abu Zayad. (Albawaba.com)
