Palestinian bomb maestro gets 26 life terms
2002-02-11
  • An Israeli military court sentenced a Palestinian militant to 26 consecutive life terms for planning two deadly suicide bombings in Jerusalem in 1997. The court sentenced Muaid Said, 31, to one life term for each of the 21 Israelis killed and one for each of the five Palestinian bombers who died in the attacks. The military prosecutor, who did not seek the death sentence, told the judge that Said planned the bombings a year after he joined the militant group Hamas at age 25.

    Said's lawyer said his client had no intention of killing anyone. Said told the court the bombings were a "natural reaction" to what he called the Israeli government's crimes against the Palestinian people.
    Of course he had no intention of killing anyone. He just liked explosives. If somebody was in the way, too bad for them. They shoulda stayed back. And that goes for the five guys who were dumb enough to wear the explodo-vests.
