Suicide bomber's family: "We're very proud of him."
The mother of Muhammed Faisal Saksak, the 21-year-old suicide bomber who carried out Monday's attack in Eilat, said she was aware of her son's plan to blow himself up and that she had wished him "good luck."
She admits she was aware? Fine. Grab her and put her on trial in Israel for aiding and abetting. Now, if she admitted helping Israel, she'd be killed in an unmerciful way.
Dozens of Palestinians, chanting slogans against Israel and the US, converged on the family's home to "congratulate" them on the success of the attack.
In other societies people are "congratulated" on births, marriages, promotions, etc. these people congratulate for death.
Although Muhammed's uncles claimed that he crossed the border into Israel from Jordan, PA security sources told The Jerusalem Post that he came from Egypt. They added that Muhammed's dispatchers were deliberately involving Jordan to avoid alienating the Egyptians and to create tensions between the Jordanians and Israel.
