This is good news. I was a bit concerned that this jihadist [1] liar (he signed the Fiqh Council of North America's condemnation of terrorism) would be able to continue his bloody work from his new home. And of course, he could be released soon.

"Israel says it's arrested Muslim cleric," from [2] AP, :

JERUSALEM - Israel is holding the former imam of Ohio's largest mosque, deported last week by the U.S., the Shin Bet internal security service said Tuesday.

Fawaz Damra, 46, was arrested because of his ties to Islamic Jihad, a Palestinian group classified by Israel and the U.S. as a terror organization, the Shin Bet said Tuesday. No further details were provided.

Damra, imam at the Islamic Center of Cleveland, was deported by American authorities last week because he concealed his ties to Islamic Jihad when he applied for American citizenship in 1994.
