Synagogue attackers 'not affiliated' with any political group: relatives

Relatives of two suspected Palestinian attackers, shot dead earlier by Israeli police, did "not have any political affiliations" according to a relative of the Palestinian men who spoke to an MEE contributor.

Reports have spread cousins Ghassan Abu Odai and Odai Abu Jamal were members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), although relatives said they were not members of any political group.
