| Paleogoons murder lady freedom fighter... |
| 2002-08-25 |
| The body of a Palestinian woman accused of collaborating with Israeli forces has been found in the West Bank town of Tulkarm. Ikhlas Khouli, 35, is the first woman to be executed by the Palestinians as a suspected collaborator with the Israelis. By "collaborator" they mean a fighter for freedom... A member of the militant group, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, said it had seized her from her house and videotaped a confession before shooting her as a warning to others. The militia member said Khouli had admitted recruiting her 18-year-old son Baker to assist her. Baker Khouli, who has been held by the militia since Thursday, had allegedly told his mother of the movements of a local chief of the militia, Ziad Daas. So they're going to bump off Baker, as well... UPDATE: Baker sez he he made up the story under torture and shows the bruises to prove it. An Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades leader said his group was forced to "strike with an iron hand" to prevent collaboration with Israel. |
