From Times Wire Reports

Israel’s attorney general has decided not to indict Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on bribery charges, Israeli television said.

Israeli officials were not available for comment on the Channel Ten report that Atty. Gen. Menachem Mazuz had closed the case due to lack of evidence against Sharon. Mazuz is expected to issue his formal decision this week.

The bribery case centers on payments of hundreds of thousands of dollars that an Israeli land developer was said to have made to Sharon’s son Gilad.
