"So far we couldn''t find evidence of possible connection between the suspect the person who is under trial arrest at the moment and al-Qaida, so no evidence at all, no information, nothing. The person who has Hungarian citizenship but of an Arabic, Palestinian origin is 22-23 years old (correct age: 42 years old), educated in Hungary, has the profession of a dentist and has a very close connection to the small Islamic community as head of the Islamic community here in Budapest, the capital."

STORYLINE:
Police arrested the spiritual leader of a small Islamic community in Budapest on Tuesday during a visit of Israeli President Moshe Katsav and suggested he was planning to bomb the city''s Jewish museum.
Two Syrians also were detained on related charges.
Israeli officials and diplomats had earlier spoken of three Arab suspects arrested in the Hungarian capital on suspicion they were planning to kill Katsav.
But senior law enforcement officials in Hungary denied that Katsav was the target of the planned attack.
"There is no connection whatsoever between today''s official visit by the Israeli president and the police action taken this morning," said National Police Commissioner Laszlo Salgo.
Tibor Pal, a senior Interior Ministry official, also said that Katsav''s presence in the Hungarian capital "has nothing to do with the police action taken today."
Police identified the suspect as a 42-year-old dentist of "Palestine origin" and said he was the spiritual leader of the small Islamic community in Budapest.
He is a naturalised Hungarian citizen.
The suspect, whose name was not released, was charged with being involved in "preparation for a terrorist attack," said Police Lt. Col. Attila Petofi.
The two Syrians were charged "with preparations for a crime against property," Petofi said without elaborating.
Police officials said investigations leading to the arrest had revealed "no date named for the attack and no (named) target facility."
