WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- Police on Wednesday arrested a man suspected of attacking Poland's chief rabbi in late May, describing him as a 33-year-old tied to neo-Nazi groups who confessed to assaulting the Jewish leader. The arrest comes nearly five weeks after Michael Schudrich, a New Yorker who became the nation's chief rabbi in 2004, was punched and attacked with what appeared to be pepper spray on a street in central Warsaw on May 27. Schudrich was not injured in the attack. The suspect, identified only as Karol G. in keeping with Polish privacy laws, was arrested Wednesday morning outside his Warsaw home, and identified shortly after that by Schudrich in a police lineup, national police chief Marek Bienkowski said at a news conference. "He confessed to the attack and was recognized by the victim," Bienkowski said. Bienkowski said that the perpetrator was "tied to Nazi organizations" and had a history of soccer-related hooliganism, but refused to divulge more because of an ongoing investigation against him. If convicted, the suspect, identified by police as a manual laborer, could face between three months and five years in prison, Bienkowski said. Jacek Kedziora, an investigator from Warsaw police, said officers used camera footage from the area where the attack took place and leads from witnesses to track down the suspect. Schudrich said he was "very grateful" to police for the seriousness with which they treated the matter. "They don't take this as just one incident, but as something that we have to be more vigilant against," he told The Associated Press. He added police were showing a strong determination to "make sure that everyone in Poland feels safe and is safe." --- Associated Press writer Vanessa Gera in Warsaw contributed to this report. © 2006 The Associated Press.

Well, now I am suspicious.
Why do the voices in my head keep screaming "shill"?
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
Why do the voices in my head keep screaming "shill"? I suppose it's just a coinkeydink that his first name is the same as the previous pope's.
The suspect, identified only as Karol G. in keeping with Polish privacy laws, was arrested Wednesday morning outside his Warsaw home, at 4755 Venice Court, standing next to his picket fence with his wife and three children who were preparing to leave in their 2004 Blue Toyota Station Wagon, license # IH8JEWS.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. Samuel Adams ... and I concur !
