Four teenagers who were arrested in Haifa late on Saturday night were apparently trying to establish a local cell of a Russian communist party, police said on Sunday night. The teens were arrested after police found them holding materials used to create Molotov cocktails.
The teens later told police investigators that they were filming a video explaining how to prepare Molotov cocktails, and were planning to use the video to train new members of their cell. The four said they oppose capitalism, and had participated in demonstrations against United States President George Bush during his recent visit to Israel.
