    JERUSALEM (AP) - Israeli police acting at the request of the FBI have 
    arrested an Israeli youth for allegedly hacking into and damaging a 
    police computer system in Pennsylvania, authorities said Wednesday. 
    
    The 19-year-old suspect was released on bond after a hearing Wednesday 
    in the southern city of Beersheba, said police spokesman Gil Kleiman. 
    He would not give the youth's name. The hacking destroyed some records 
    in the computer system of the police department, Kleiman said, adding 
    that he did not know which department in Pennsylvania had been 
    affected. 
    
    Kleiman said the suspect may be charged with computer fraud. 
    
    The suspect told police he had no idea what he was doing and did not 
    know that he had entered the police computer system. 
    
    Israeli police have in several instances, at the request of the FBI, 
    arrested citizens suspected of hacking computers of U.S. companies and 
    agencies.
