A tiny minority of Arabs—including the “spiritual leader” of a Budapest Islamic group—has been arrested in Hungary for being involved in a plot to bomb a Jewish museum.

BUDAPEST, Hungary - Police arrested three Arabs on Tuesday in an alleged plot to bomb a Jewish museum two days before Israeli President Moshe Katsav was to inaugurate Budapest’s Holocaust Memorial Center.

An aide to Katsav and Israeli diplomats said the president, who came to Budapest on Tuesday for a three-day visit, was the target of the conspiracy. One Israeli analyst suggested the plot may have been motivated by Israel’s assassination last month of Sheik Ahmed Yassin, founder of the Islamic militant group Hamas. …

Police said the main suspect was a 42-year-old dentist of Palestinian origin who holds Hungarian citizenship and is the spiritual head of a small Islamic group in Budapest.

Monitored phone calls of the suspect revealed he had asked acquaintances for explosives “to blow up a Jewish museum,” said Police Lt. Col. Attila Petofi of the National Investigation Agency.
