ROCHESTER, N.Y. A Palestinian immigrant avoided prison time today for failing to tell the F-B-I about his brother’s written vow to become a suicide bomber in Israel.

Forty-three-year-old grocery store owner Mohammad Subeh (soo-BAYE’) pleaded guilty to a felony count of concealing a material fact from the F-B-I. He was placed on probation for a year and fined 250-dollars.

The naturalized citizen and father of five admitted deceiving federal agents at Rochester’s airport in 2003. He denied seeing a farewell letter in which his brother indicated he was traveling home to the West Bank to join the Al Aqsa ( ahl AHK’-sah) Martyrs’ Brigade. The militant group has claimed credit for suicide bombings in Israel.

Subeh faced a maximum sentence of six months in prison under a plea deal reached in January,

His 21-year-old brother, Ismail Dorgham, lived in Rochester for a year before abruptly quitting his job at the store and flying back to the Middle East.
