| Israel says Lebanese killer Kantar in its sights |
| 2008-07-17 |
| JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israeli security officials warned on Thursday that Lebanese murderer Samir Kantar, who was freed in a prisoner swap after nearly three decades behind bars, should now fear for his own life. "Every terrorist who committed an act of terror against Israel, especially someone like Kantar, who killed a little child and two other people, is a target," one of the officials told AFP."If there is a chance for Israel to close the file on Kantar, Israel won't hesitate," he added, speaking on condition of anonymity. Kantar, who turns 46 next week, was just 17 when he was sentenced to five life terms for a 1979 triple murder in one of the most notorious attacks in Israeli history.He was convicted of killing a police officer, a civilian and a four-year-old girl, whose skull he was accused of crushing with his rifle butt, in a raid in the northern Israeli town of Nahariya. Another security official said Kantar "has become a target for killing. Now that he is out of jail, we have no obligation towards Kantar, a loathsome murderer whose accounts will be settled in the end," the unnamed official told the top-selling Yediot Aharonot newspaper. Israel's intelligence agenices Mossad and Shin Beth opposed Kantar's release but were over-ruled by political considerations, in order to end the mystery over the fate of two Israeli soldiers captured by Hezbollah two years ago in a raid that sparked the devastating 34-day war in 2006. |

| #9 This kind of rhetoric aggravates me. IMHO, keeping silent and just carrying it out is more professional and sincere. Let the Banana Republic dictators and Imams make threats. I hope Israel silences these guys in and moves forward. |

| #8 He was convicted of killing a police officer, a civilian and a four-year-old girl, whose skull he was accused of crushing with his rifle butt, in a raid in the northern Israeli town of Nahariya. Obviously conviction in an Israeli court doesn't count toward actual guilt in the eyes of AFP - certainly not when it's a cold-blooded atrocity against a 4-year-old Israeli girl. The hatred I feel toward the MSM is almost as much as I feel toward Kantar and his spawns-of-Hell ilk. |

| #7 The Israelis should encourage the rumor that whenever they have some terrorist for 48 hours or more, that he has been turned. Let the Muslims execute their own as spies, which of course will cause blood feuds. |

| #4 Hey Samir, did you take any strange little 'pills', perhaps for a head cold, while the IDF had you? Any injections with a 'big needle'? Did they give you a 'souvenir gift box' on your release? Just askin'.... |

| #3 Should've had a death penalty. If you did, all this pig would've been doing for the last forty years would be fattening up generations of worms...instead of himself. Or they could've taken him out yesterday, along with Naz and a coupla thousand other true belivers. |
