PFLP Head Will Not Be Tried for Minister's Murder
(Jerusalem Post) Dan Izenberg - Ahmed Sa'adat, secretary-general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which carried out the assassination of Israeli cabinet minister Rehavam Ze'evi, will not be tried for his murder, but four other PFLP members suspected of direct involvement in the killing will face trial, the Justice Ministry decided Wednesday. Sa'adat was one of six Palestinians held for almost four years in a Palestinian Authority jail in Jericho under British and American supervision until they were captured on March 14 by IDF troops, after the U.S. and Britain ordered their guards home. While Israeli judicial officials concluded that there was not enough evidence to charge Sa'adat with Ze'evi's murder, he is to be put on trial before a military court on charges of involvement in security crimes.
