"Israeli Killed in Palestinian Rocket Attack"
By Julie Stahl
CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief
November 15, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - An Israeli woman was killed and another man seriously injured when a Kassam rocket slammed into a busy street in the southern Israeli town of Sderot on Wednesday morning.

The injured man reportedly was a bodyguard for Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz, who lives near the street where the rocket struck.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the rocket attack and several others on Wednesday in separate statements, saying the rocket attacks were revenge for what they called Israeli "massacres."

Israel has expressed regret for mistakenly shelling an apartment building last week outside the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun. Eighteen Palestinians, mostly women and children, were killed by what Israel called an "errant" shell. Israel said it intended to hit a rocket-launching site.

Wednesday's rocket attack on Sderot is expected to prompt an Israeli military response. "

Court orders retrial of 9/11 hijacker friend (Germany; MOTASSADEQ; Never-ending story continues)
Scotsman.com ^

KARLSRUHE, Germany (Reuters) - Germany's highest court of appeals on Thursday ordered that a Moroccan friend of the September 11 hijackers must face a third trial on charges of aiding the deadly 2001 attacks on the United States.

Judge Klaus Tolksdorf, who has said that Mounir El Motassadeq clearly knew his acquaintances from Hamburg were planning plane attacks, ordered the retrial.

Motassadeq was convicted last year of belonging to a terrorist organisation and sentenced to 7 years in prison, but cleared of the more serious charge of abetting mass murder.

He was unexpectedly freed from a Hamburg prison in February after Germany's Constitutional Court upheld a defence motion that he be released pending an appeal.

Motassadeq is one of only a handful of men to have been tried in connection with the September 11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
