Knesset guards find gun in MK Kara's bag
'I didn't know that it was prohibited,' he tells Ynet after guards find gun in his bag
Knesset guards securing the entrance to the parliament building in Jerusalem on Monday found a gun in Deputy Minister Ayoob Kara's bag. The guards informed the authorities of the incident.
"This is my own personal weapon, which I am licensed to carry," Kara (Likud) told Ynet. "I don't understand what all the commotion is about."
The MK said, "I forgot my bag in the car so I asked my driver to get it for me, but he apparently brought the wrong bag.
"I didn't know that it was prohibited to bring in a weapon. Now I know," he added.
Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin has instructed head of security at the parliament building to investigate the incident.
