[Ynet News] Efrat Weiss - The IDF Military Court in Samaria on Wednesday sentenced Na'al Yassin, a Palestinian police officer who murdered Border Guard officer Yossi Tabijah, to a life term and an additional 30 years. On September 29, 2000, a Palestinian vehicle and an Israeli Border Guard vehicle were on a joint patrol and parked near the West Bank city of Kalkilya. Yassin exited the Palestinian vehicle and began to shoot at the Israeli vehicle, crying "Allah Akbar," killing Tabijah and wounding another Israeli officer. A representative from the prosecution said that during some of the hearings, Yassin claimed he would continue to kill after he is released from jail during prisoner exchanges.
