New reports have surfaced on the arrest of yet another Jewish organ trading gang in the United States involved in the abduction of Algerian children.

Dr. Mustafa Khayatti, the head of the Algerian National Committee for the Development of Health Research, revealed on Sunday that the New York city police have arrested members of a Jewish gang who abducted Algerian children for their organs.

Khayatti said the arrests came after Interpol found that children in western Algeria were abducted and taken to Morocco to have their kidneys harvested.

Their organs were later trafficked to the United States and Israel and sold for $20,000 to $100,000 each.

The group is said to be connected to Israeli rabbi Levi Rosenbaum, who was recently arrested in New Jersey for direct involvement in importing human organs.

Following Rosenbaum's arrest, US authorities detained some 44 others, including rabbis and mayors in New Jersey, who were prosecuted for money laundering and human organs trade.

Last month, a report published in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, accused Israeli soldiers of kidnapping Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip for their organs, indicating a possible link between the Israeli military and the mafia of human organs detected in the US.

Some Arab countries have called for an international inquiry into the allegations.

Palestinian Minister Accuses Israel of Organ Theft

08/09/2009 A Palestinian minister on Tuesday accused Israel of trafficking the organs of Palestinians, after a similar report by a Swedish newspaper triggered a diplomatic row.

Israel "is hiding the bodies of Palestinian martyrs to remove the proof of their crimes, including organ trafficking," prisoner affairs minister Issa Qaraqae said.

He spoke at a rally held in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus to demand the return to their families of bodies of dozens of Palestinians killed by the Israeli military.

Arab-Israeli MP Mohammed Barakei challenged Israel to disprove the report. "It is our right to ask ourselves what Israel's reasons are for keeping the bodies of martyrs," he said at the demonstration marking the "national day for the restitution of martyrs' bodies" decreed by the Palestinian government.

"Have the bodies been mutilated? My answer is yes, barring proof to the contrary. Have their organs been stolen? My answer is yes, barring proof to the contrary," Barakei said.

Palestinian NGOs say Israel is holding the bodies of about 275 Palestinians.

Last month Sweden's Aftonbladet said that Israeli occupation soldiers had snatched Palestinian youths to steal their organs. Israel angrily rejected the reports, comparing them to medieval blood libels against Jews.
