Israeli officials have confirmed a mistake has been made in the arrest of a man suspected of being an IRA member and of helping Palestinian militants, Israel radio reported on 15 July.
"There are increasing doubts that the Briton arrested by Israel near Ramallah earlier this week is in fact a weapons expert who came to assist Palestinian terrorists. Friends of the man, whose name is [name withheld], say he is a peace activist and has no connection with terrorism," the radio reported.
"The wanted man has the same name, and there are indications that this may be a case of mistaken identity. Israeli security officials have confirmed the apparent mistake in the arrest. [Name withheld] is still being held and questioned by the Shin Bet [Israeli intelligence]," the radio added.
