Public Safety Minister Gil'ad Erdan has instructed the Israel Police not to return the body of the terrorist involved in Sunday's truck attack in Jerusalem to his family. Erdan said, "This is a criminal, painful and especially severe attack, which may lead to additional imitation attacks."
Erdan continued, "We will not allow the abhorrent terrorist and his family to hold a funeral in which he will have get honor which will encourage other hazards. His body should only be buried by the security forces and in a place without access for his family and supporters."
