India releases Israeli held on arms charges

An Israeli woman detained in India after airport security officers discovered bullets in her luggage, has been released on bail.
The Foreign Ministry stated on Monday that Nurit Toker, 23, will remain in Mumbai until authorities complete their investigation. Ministry officials expressed hope that Tocker will be able to return to Israel soon.
On Sunday, the Indian media reported that the Mumbai police are investigating why the bullets were not detected when Tocker entered the country.
Tocker, a former IDF officer, was arrested during a security check before boarding a flight to Katmandu. The court remanded her by three days and she was taken in for questioning.
According to the India-based newspaper Mumbai Mirror, Tocker told investigators that she had kept the bullets as a souvenir from her military service, and forgot they were in her bag.
