JERUSALEM, June 5 (Xinhua) -- Israel's Shin Bet security agency said on Tuesday it foiled a plot to attack Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Shin Bet released a statement saying Muhammad Jamal Rashdeh, a 30-year-old resident of the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem, was among those arrested on suspicion of being involved in the plot.

The plot, orchestrated from Syria, included a plan to carry out terror attacks against Netanyahu and Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, the Shin Bet said.

"It was learned that Rashdeh had planned to attack buildings that belong to the U.S. consulate and a senior Canadian delegation that was in Jerusalem in order to train Palestinian Authority forces," the statement read.

To advance the planned attacks, the cell intended to bring another operative into Israel from Jordan, according to the Shin Bet.

Additional suspects have been arrested.

Barkat said in a statement that he was kept informed about development during the investigation and had not changed his routine. "No threat will deter us," he said.
