In Canada, threats have been made recently to Jewish community centres in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto and London, Ont. The U.S. Anti-Defamation League says there have been more than 120 bomb threats against U.S. Jewish community centres and day schools in the U.S. since Jan. 9. Sessions said in a statement Thursday that the arrest is the result of a large investigation into hate crimes against the Jewish community. But Israeli police described the local man as the primary suspect in the wave of threats. Yaniv Azani, head of technology in the Israeli police's cyber unit, says the man used "several different means to camouflage the various layers of communication mechanisms" to carry out the calls.
