Paleo father, son sentenced to death for collaborating with Israel
A Palestinian man and his son accused of collaborating with Israel were sentenced to death on Monday by a civilian tribunal in Gaza City, Palestinian security officials said. Mohammed Abou Keymas, 50, and his 20-year-old son Rami were found guilty of passing information that led to a failed June 2003 attempt by the Israeli army on the life of Hamas leader Abdelaziz al-Rantissi. If the two appeal the sentences and lose, the president of the Palestinian Authority may pardon them. After the death of veteran Palestinian president Yasser Arafat, the Authority's acting president is Rawhi Fattuh pending elections in January. In a separate case the same court jailed two other Palestinians to 10 years each, also for collaborating with Israel.Posted by: Steve White 2004-11-30 |
