Two Defendants Convicted In Connection to Meiron Suicide Bombing
(IsraelNN.com) Ibrahim and Yassin Bakri, residents of Kfar Ana, admitted to the charges against them , assisting the suicide bomber responsible for the Meiron Junction bombing attack on 4 August 2002. An Egged No. 361 bus was blown up. Nine persons were murdered and 53 injured.
The two were convicted of nine counts of murder and 53 counts of attempted murder.
Apparently not - the last person to receive the death penalty in Israel was Adolf Eichmann, in 1960. I personally would favor some modifications to Israeli law. (Mind you, I also think hijackers and terrorists should be summarily hung as pirates.)
