Israeli Minister's Killers Captured in Jericho to Face Trial in Israeli Court


(Ha'aretz) Yuval Yoaz, Amos Harel, and Jonathan Lis - State prosecutor Eran Shendar on Thursday said Israel would be capable of trying four of the six suspects in the assassination of tourism minister Rehavam Ze'evi in October 2001. "Israel has a clear interest to try the murderers of an Israeli minister in an Israeli court in the State of Israel," he said. Two of the six will definitely face trial in Israel since they were imprisoned by the PA without undergoing legal proceedings: Ahmed Saadat, leader of the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror organization, and Fuad Shubaki, financier of the "Karine A" illegal weapons shipment. It was further established that Israel possesses the jurisdiction necessary to try Ze'evi's murderers even though they have already been convicted and sentenced by a PA court.
