Maxim restaurant in Haifa closed for security

HA'ARETZ: Maxim restaurant in Haifa closed for security

The Maxim restaurant in Haifa, the site of an October suicide bombing in which 21 people were killed, was ordered shut Sunday for 30 days by police, citing inadequate security procedures.

According to the closure order, the restaurant will be allowed to reopen soon providing that the owners present a new security plan which is approved by police.

According to the police report, an undercover female officer was able to enter the restaurant while wearing a mock suicide belt. A security guard checked the officer, but he failed to detect the belt.

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
