WASHINGTON: An 18-year-old Israeli-American man, in custody in Israel after being arrested there last month, was hit with US charges on Friday for making hoax telephone threats against Jewish centres.

FBI Director James Comey said in a Justice Department statement that the behaviour allegedly perpetrated by the suspect, Michael Ron David Kadar, “is **t a prank... it´s a federal crime.”

Kadar was arrested in southern Israel on March 23 after a joint probe by Israeli police and the FBI.

While the US and Israel have an extradition treaty, the Justice Department statement made ** mention of any effort to extradite Kadar to face the charges in a US court.

A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment further to AFP beyond what the statement said.

Kadar is suspected of being behind a wave of threats to Jewish institutions in the US, Australia and New Zealand between January and early March.
