A man was arrested in Israel on Thursday on suspicion of making bomb threats against Jewish community centres in the United States, Australia and New Zealand over the past three months, police said on Thursday.



Sources familiar with the case gave the suspect's age as 19 and said he is Jewish and holds Israeli and U.S. citizenship. Police spokesmen said the suspect's motives were still unclear to investigators.
