(Ha'aretz) Arnon Regular and Aluf Benn - The Beit El Military Court on Sunday convicted Hamas member Abdullah Barghouti of killing 66 Israelis and injuring 500 people. Barghouti did not contest the charges. He was convicted of making the bombs used in a number of attacks in Jerusalem over the past two years: the bombing at the Hebrew University in which five Americans and four Israelis were killed, a suicide bombing at a Sbarro pizzeria that killed 15 people in August 2001, the suicide bombing at the Moment Cafe that left 11 people dead, and a triple bombing on Jerusalem's Ben Yehuda pedestrian mall that killed 10 people.
