The police are investigating suspicions that Karim Jumhur, who was kidnapped Tuesday near his home in the central Israeli Arab city of Qalansuwa, has been moved to the Palestinian Authority.

In the documentation of the incident published yesterday, the boy was seen forcibly put into a white car with at least two men. Karim's father, Jaber, told investigators that the kidnappers demanded that he pay a ransom of four million shekels. He said he refused, even after they lowered the request to NIS one million.
