Israeli Court Orders PA to Compensate Family of Terrorist Attack Victims

(Ynet News) Yael Friedson - The Jerusalem District Court ruled on Monday that the Palestinian Authority must pay NIS 13 million ($3.8 million) in compensation to the family of Tzipi and Gadi Shemesh, who were killed in a suicide bombing in 2002. A court ruling two years ago held the PA directly responsible for the bombing that killed the couple and their unborn twins. The perpetrators were members of a Palestinian terrorist organization that acted as a result of the PA's policy which allowed the killing of Israeli civilians. According to Palestinian expert Lt.-Col. (res.) Alon Eviatar, the suicide bomber, Muhammad Hashika, had been arrested by the PA and was released specifically to carry out the attack at the request of Abd al-Karim Avis, an officer in the PA's general intelligence apparatus. Moreover, the materials used to make the bomb were taken from the office of the head of the PA's General Intelligence Service, Tawfiq Tirawi, who paid an aide to drive Hashika to the scene of the attack.
