Israel's security service may put far-right leaders in administrative detention

Israeli Shin Bet domestic security service is considering placing leaders of extreme right-wing movements in administrative detention prior to the Gaza disengagement, local newspaper Ha'aretz reported on Tuesday.

Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin told the Knesset (parliament) Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that the security service "has boosted its surveillance of extreme right-wing cells working to harm public order and life."
