#1 The suspects can be held for up to 96 hours without being placed under investigation

In other words, this is all window dressing so that it looks like they're 'doing something' about those synagogues that are bursting into flames.

#2 It is not window dressing, it is the law (one made dozens of years ago, well before Khomeini): people can be interrogated for 24 hours, after that they have to be released or the police has to present them to a judge. In drug and terrorism cases delay is longer: four days for terrorism, for drugs I don't remember if it is two days or four dayts.

#3 Takfir was not on my radar screen, but it was on Fred's. Here is an item from Fred's comments on the Rumsfeld memo from 10/22:

We also have to recognize the unity of terrorism, both as an Islamist phenomenon which include Chechnya and the Takfir wal-Hijra killers as well as Qaeda and the Palestinian structure that's fostered by Iran; and as a mindset that includes everything from the IRA to Colombian drug runners.
