Israel sentences assassinator of an Israeli minister

author Monday September 22, 2008 10:54author by Rami Almeghari - IMEMC & Agencies Report this post to the editors

The Israeli Central Court sentenced on Monday Majdy Alrimawi, who has been convicted with assassinating Israeli tourism minister Ra'b'aam Zeaivi in the occupied east Jerusalem in 2001.

Alrimawi, member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), was sentenced to life-imprisonment plus 80 years, Palestinian media sources reported.

According to Ramattan News Agency, Alrimawi and his lawyer defied the Israeli court's ruling by saying that the assassination took place in east Jerusalem, which is an occupied Palestinian territory, so the ruling was invalid.

Israel detained Alrimawi and four of his comrades including PFLP's leader hmad Sa'adaat in March 2006, when Israeli troops cordoned off the Palestinian Authority prison of Jericho.
