Women-in-Green released a statement saying that tonight\'s murder is a direct result of the ease of travel restrictions for Arabs. \"Sharon bowed to Zinni\'s demands to open the roads of Yesha (Judea, Samaria and Gaza) to Arabs and thereby compromised the security of all travelers in the area,\" said spokesperson Nadia Matar.
