Men arrested for attempted hanging of Koran thief
None
Police arrested three residents of the village of Arrabe in their 20's on suspicion that they attempted to hang a Palestinian youth in a nearby forest.
The youths apparently changed their minds when the victim began to convulse after being hung from a tree and cut him down. The youths, charged with aggravated battery and attempted murder, told the police they targeted the youth after he stole Koran book from the village mosque. (Ahiya Raved)
