Tel Aviv [Israel], July 31 (ANI/TPS): The Israel Police reported that, following an undercover investigation, a cell of Palestinian Authority residents who contacted Israeli citizens and attempted to "ransom" stolen items was exposed and broken up.

The police raided the homes of the suspects and arrested an undisclosed number of people involved in the extortion ring.

In cases where the victims actually paid the ransom demanded of them, the stolen items were not returned. (ANI/TPS)

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
