JERUSALEM - A Palestinian working for an aid group was charged Thursday with gathering intelligence on Ehud Olmert as part of a plot to assassinate the Israeli prime minister.
Israel's Shin Bet internal security service arrested Masseb Bashir, a resident of the
Gaza Strip, a month ago, according to court documents.
The indictment said Bashir, 25, admitted during his interrogation that he entered Israel to gather information on several Israeli leaders, including Olmert, as part of an assassination plot against them.
Bashir said he easily entered Israel with a permit he held because he worked for the Paris-based Doctors without Borders.
