After an 18-month-long investigation, the Israel Police revealed late
Monday night that they had arrested an Israeli Arab teen suspected of
participating in what they called "Internet terror" - hacking in to Israeli
Web sites and causing millions of shekels worth of damage.

The 17-year-old from the Wadi Ara village of Kafr Kara was arrested Monday
afternoon after police searched his house and discovered that the youth's
personal computer contained what police termed "implicating information."
The youth's mother allegedly tried to hinder police during the search of
the family's house, but to no avail.

The suspect, along with Muslim cohorts from countries including Saudi
Arabia and Turkey, allegedly wrecked a number of Web sites including those
of the Likud Party and Maccabi Tel Aviv, as well as shopping sites and
sites used as servers by various other companies.

As yet, it is unclear if government sites were affected.
