(cont) killed by sniper.
Interesting bit, while my heart goes out to the father, it is
good that the security forces seem serious about keeping the lid
on violence from the Israeli side. Let us hope the Mr. Abbas and
his minions can do as well on the other.Israeli security forces have arrested two Jewish
settlers, including the father of a baby shot dead by a
Palestinian sniper, Israeli media and a settlers'
spokesman said Friday.
Israel radio said Yitzhak Pass and his brother-in-law
Matityahu Shabu were arrested on suspicion of
"security crimes" but had not yet been charged. It said
a court order barred reporting further details. A police
spokesman did not immediately return calls from The
Associated Press.
Pass' 10-month-old daughter, Shalhevet, was shot
dead in March 2001 in the tense West Bank city of
Hebron, where several hundred Jewish settlers live in
enclaves surrounded by more than 100,000
Palestinians.
Yitzhak Pass was wounded in the shooting, which
police said came from a Palestinian-controlled part of
Hebron near the Jewish enclave.
