| Hungarian authorities foiled a plot to kill Israeli President Moshe Katsav, who is visiting the Eastern European country, Agence France-Presse cited Hungary’s Inforadio as saying. Three people of Arab origin were arrested in connection with the plan, AFP said, citing an Inforadio report from unidentified intelligence officials. Hungarian authorities found out about the plot before Katsav arrived today, and the Israeli president’s schedule was changed four times for security reasons, AFP cited the radio station as saying. Katsav, who is a member of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s Likud party, is visiting Hungary for three days and will open a Holocaust museum in the capital, Budapest, AFP reported. A news conference on the arrests will be held at 4 p.m. Budapest time, Hungarian police said. |
