According to his confession, on the morning of October 17 2001, he entered the Hyatt hotel in Jerusalem along with his accomplice, Bassel Assamer, and the two proceeded to follow Ze’evi from the dining court to his room, on the hotel’s eighth floor.
When Ze’evi reached his room, Quran shot him in the head three times, at point-blank range. Ze’evi suffered fatal wounds and died shortly after.”

“Land of the Freed
For two members of the ‘Los Angeles Eight,’ America finally acts to right a wrong.”
Wednesday, November 7, 2007; Page A20
EDITORIAL SNIPPET: “LAST WEEK, after almost 21 years, the U.S. government agreed to drop its case against Khader Hamide and Michel Shehadeh. The two men, who are of Palestinian descent, were permanent legal residents of the United States when they were targeted for deportation because of their alleged affiliation with a terrorist group. The government’s evidence was so flimsy and its legal arguments so bizarre that many in the immigrants’ rights, civil liberties and Arab American communities came to see the case as an overt act of hostility by the government toward people of Arab descent — and understandably so.
The saga began in 1987 when Mr. Hamide and Mr. Shehadeh, along with six others who came to be known as the Los Angeles Eight, were arrested and accused of supporting the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an extremist offshoot of the Palestine Liberation Organization.”
