The Palestinian Authority newspaper Al-Ayam reports today that Hamdi Kura'an, who murdered Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze'evi in Oct. 2001, was recently married while being held in detention in Jericho.
Kura'an, together with four other PFLP terrorists involved in the murder, has been held in a PA installation in Jericho, in accordance with the terms of an agreement with Israel. Kura'an, the man who actually pulled the trigger, is married to his cousin, who said that she is "proud of him and his actions." MK Benny Elon, who took over the leadership of the Moledet party after Ze'evi's death, said today in response, "There is no limit to the immorality. Gandhi's murderer gets married in a PA convalescent home, while Israel, instead of killing him, transfers a monthly payment of 130 million shekels to Arafat and his henchmen."
