From Times Wire Reports
An Israeli investigation into a Palestinian attack on a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem last month has found that the gunman acted alone and was not sent by a militant organization, a police spokesman said.
Hamas had praised the March 6 attack, in which eight students were killed, but did not claim responsibility for it, and a claim by a previously unknown group was not substantiated.
The investigation showed that the gunman, Ala Abu Dheim of East Jerusalem, “acted on his own, alone,” police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
