      Court: Under-Age Attackers to Stay in Jail


      High Court Justice Asher Grunis ruled Monday that two 16-year-olds accused of attacking police officers during rioting against the Cast Lead operation in Gaza will remain in prison until trial. A District Court had ordered police to find an alternative to jail due to the suspects' ages.

      The two minors are accused of participating in an illegal gathering and throwing rocks at officers. They allegedly joined a large group of men from the Israeli Arab city of Taibe during the rioting.
