Victoria Hen, the 25-year-old Israeli/American who was murdered by an Arab gunman at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday, will be laid to rest in California today. Hen was killed along with 46-year-old father of eight, Ya’akov Aminov, when Egyptian national Hesham Muhammad Hadayet opened fired at passengers waiting in line at the El-Al counter. Aminov’s body will be flown back to Israel today for burial.



American transportation officials, over the weekend, praised the quick action taken by the El-Al security guards in killing Hadayet before he had the opportunity to hurt more passengers. Airport officials in the United States now say that they will increase the security presence at ticket counters nationwide.
