(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - Ya'acov Meni, 60, a Beersheba taxi driver, was stabbed by two Palestinian passengers on Thursday and is in serious condition. A passerby, who witnessed the attack, held the perpetrators at gunpoint until police arrived. "The suspects said they came to carry out an attack in Beersheba to repent for their sins by way of attacking Jews," police spokesman Itai Dotan said. One told a reporter from Channel 2 TV that the reason he carried out the attack was because "we are commanded to do so by the Koran."
