Palestinian citizen arrested for joining El-Jihad

The Palestinian Authority arrested Ali Assad Baka, who it is said is a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization in the West Bank who fled from Palestinian prison guards with two other suspects in October, after they were arrested on suspicions of being involved in an explosion that took place in Jerusalem city. Leaders in the Islamic Jihad accused the Palestinian government of working to implementing an Israeli security plan and said that El-Jihad will not be a tool for improving Israeli - Palestinian government relations.
