Police in the Jerusalem District denied Friday that the terrorist who murdered eight youths had been employed by Mercaz HaRav Kook as a driver, and also said he had not been jailed four months ago and released two months later, as Arab sources claimed.
A senior source in the yeshiva also said the killer was never employed by the yeshiva: "It never happened. He never worked for the yeshiva," the source said.
The security establishment also said that the terrorist had never been arrested for security offenses.
