hi Mazzetta and all,

It's posted up now under "open posting" -- which means it's not yet a
feature or on the newswire.

Israel's police to start an investigation of the Indymedia Israel
collective and website
http://www.indymedia.org/en/2009/10/930396.shtml

Has this been confirmed? And by chance are there any other links that can
be included?

Thanks,
