U.S. Christian Plotted to Blow Up Muslim Holy Sites
(Ynet News) Eli Senyor and Itay Blumental - Adam Everett Livix, 30, an American Christian, was indicted Monday for plotting to blow up Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem, the Israel Justice Ministry said Tuesday. According to the indictment, Livix passed himself off as a member of the elite American Navy SEALS. In October, Livix asked his roommate, a serving soldier in the IDF, to help him obtain explosive material. Last week, police went to arrest Livix at his 7th-floor apartment, but he initially escaped by leaping onto a 6th-story patio before finally being apprehended. According to the Israel Security Agency, Livix arrived in 2013 and lived in the Palestinian Authority - in Hebron and in Bethlehem. He entered Israel and has been staying in the country illegally.
