An indictment was filed Thursday against a 35-year-old resident of the Lower Galilee Israeli-Arab vilalge of Arraba who murdered Zaid Ahmad Asala last month.

The 38-year-old Asala was found in a gas station in the center of the village in critical condition with stab wounds and was evacuated to hospital where he was pronounced dead. The defendant was arrested after a strenuous investigation by the police.
