Terrorist Back In Court



By Micah Halpern
I've Been Thinking:

Ahmad Saadat, was the Secretary General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the PFLP.  He was arrested for planning the successful assassination of Israeli cabinet minister Rehavam Zeevi at a Jerusalem hotel in October 17, 2001.

Saadat was tried in a military court.  He is now serving a 30 year term for his role in the assassination and for heading a terrorist organization. 

Saadat was, once again, brought to court.  This time he was there as part of the evidence stage in a civil trial brought by the family of Keren Shatasky who was murdered in a terror attack in Karnei Shomron in 2002.

The trial has been ongoing since 2002.  It started in Washington and is now gathering more evidence in Israel.  The charge is that the PA enabled the PFLP and provided the PFLP money, weapons and information with which was used by the PFLP to perpetrate their attacks – murdering Keren and many others.

Saadat refused to accept the jurisdiction of the court. He did not answer any questions, he just flashed the V sign for victory.
