Jewish
Drug-Ringleader Caught Rosenstein,
50, has long been accused of being one of the
world's top mob
leaders. TEL AVIV, Israel - Police
arrested a reputed Israeli underworld figure Monday
on an international warrant for smuggling drugs
from the European Union to the United States,
authorities said. Ze'ev Rosenstein (pictured, pants wetted)
was arrested after an investigation that spanned
three years and several countries. He is believed
to be a dominant force on the world Ecstasy market,
said David Tzur the Tel Aviv police
commander. Rosenstein's warrant called for his extradition
to the United States, a process that could take
several months. Federal documents released in Miami
on Monday accused Rosenstein of trying to export
700,000 Ecstasy tablets to New York. In December
[2003], a bomb
attack targeted Rosenstein -- the seventh attempt
on his life -- leaving him with scratches but
killing three passers-by and wounding 18 others in
Tel Aviv. The attack was believed to have been
ordered by rival mob bosses, police said. Website
