[quote]Police investigating the murder of 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir believe there may be a connection between his abduction and the attempted kidnapping of a schoolboy in the same East Jerusalem neighborhood a day earlier.[/quote] [quote]East Jerusalem resident Dina Zalum told an investigator for human rights group Btselem that a man tried to abduct her 9-year-old son, Musa, in their Shoafat neighborhood a day before Abu Khdeir's death and that the police did not follow up on her complaint. "I heard the sound of a car braking as it entered Shoafat," she said. "I heard a boy's voice call out, 'Mommy, Mommy.' It was the voice of Musa shouting for help and calling out to me." Zalum recalled that she looked back and saw a short, thin man with eyeglasses, and described him as having pale skin and long hair. "He grabbed Musa by the throat as if he were trying to prevent him from screaming," she said. "I attacked him and started to beat him with the cellphone that was in my hand, and I cried, 'They're trying to kidnap my son.' Another man got out of the car and beat me together with the first man." Meanwhile, said Zalum, Musa managed to get away from the kidnappers, who shouted at each other in Hebrew.[/quote] [url]http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/1.603392[/url]
