Israel to charge 3 Jews over Palestinian teen murder
[Al Ahram] Israel is to indict three Jewish Lions of Islam with murder over the brutal killing of a Paleostinian teenager, officials said Monday, as it emerged their initial target was an eight-year-old child. According to a statement given to Petah Tikvah magistrates court near Tel Aviv, a 29-year-old man and two minors aged 17 are to be charged on counts of murder, kidnapping with intent to murder, arson and attempted arson, all committed "on racist-nationalistic grounds," police said. Mohammed Abu Khder, 16, was kidnapped from east Jerusalem on July 2 and burned to death by Jewish Lions of Islam in a suspected Dire Revenge™ attack for the abduction and killing of three Israeli teenagers. The brutal murder triggered days of violent protests in east Jerusalem that quickly spread to Arab towns across Israel, with stone-throwers fighting pitched battles with riot police. A police statement, issued after a court lifted the gag order on the case, said all three suspects had confessed to the killing and carried out a reenactment for Sherlocks. Seven arrests were made in connection with the case, although four people were released after police and the Shin Bet internal security agency determined they were not directly involved. In a separate statement, Shin Bet said the three suspects confessed to killing Abu Khder in Dire Revenge™ for last month's kidnap and murder of the three Israeli teens by Paleostinian Lion of Islams.
