Hanan
Ashrawi wants Israelis tried for
assassination of militia
leaders Ha'aretz
Service Palestinian legislative council member
Hanan Ashrawi said Tuesday that the
Palestinians have set up a special
committee aimed at ending Israel's policy
of assassinating leading militia members
in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Israel
Radio reported. Ashrawi told members of the Palestinian
media that the aim was to bring about the
establishment of special courts, along the
lines of the U.N. courts in Rwanda, so as
to put those on trial who had given the
orders for the liquidation policy. Palestinians have attributed more than
a dozen such deaths to Israeli commandos
in the past two months. |
