A Palestinian sentenced to life in prison after a long extradition battle but later freed in a prisoner swap was rearrested and held without charges in “administrative detention” by the Israeli army. Ziad abu Eain fled to Chicago, where he had relatives, after he was accused of a 1979 bombing that killed three people and wounded 30. Extradited to Israel, he was convicted and sentenced to prison. An army spokesman said that since his release in a prisoner trade in May, he has participated in “propaganda and incitement activities.”
