BUDAPEST (AFP)---A Budapest court Tuesday awarded two million forints (8,300 euros, 12,000 dollars) in compensation to a Palestinian dentist falsely suspected of plotting an attack during a visit by Israel's president.
   

Saleh Tayseer, 46, who lives in Budapest, was taken into custody in April
2004, a few hours before the official visit of Moshe Katsav, then president of Israel.
   
Tayseer was accused of having arranged in 2003 for someone to obtain
explosives to be used by a third person to blow up a Jewish museum in Budapest.
   
The prosecutor's office released Tayseer two months later in June, citing
insufficient evidence to press charges.
   
For the two months he spent in detention, Tayseer, who is also head of a
Muslim congregation in Budapest, sued the Hungarian state demanding 30 million forints in compensation.
