After the bombing, Al-Sayed’s nephew, Tarik Zeidan, a pharmacist, provided his uncle with four kilograms of cyanide which he purchased in Jordan, according to a verdict issued Tuesday by Tel Aviv’s District Court.
Al-Sayed planned to use the cyanide to mass murder Jews in various parts of the country. Exposure to only a small quantity of the deadly material in one location could have potentially killed dozens of people.
Al-Sayed, who was arrested by IDF troops during Operation Defensive Shield that followed the Park Hotel bombing, was also convicted of planning the attack on the Sharon mall in Netanya which killed five people.
In yet another conviction, handed down in October, Al-Sayed was found guilty of from receiving explosives from Hamas terrorists in Syria.
According to reports, Al-Sayed was paid thousands of dollars for his terrorist activity against Israel. A number of Hamas terrorists who worked with Al-Sayed have still evaded capture by Israel’s security services.
The prosecution intends to ask the court to sentence Al-Sayed, 39, to consecutive life sentences. The three judge panel convicted Al-Sayed unanimously.
