JERUSALEM, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- Discreet negotiations between Israel and the Netherlands allowed a former chief of Israel's security agency to avoid arrest on torture charges, sources say.
Citing unnamed sources, the Israel newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Tuesday that Dutch authorities were considering a request from an alleged Palestinian torture victim that former Shin Bet head Ami Ayalon be detained and taken to the International Court of Justice in The Hague during a May visit to the Netherlands.
