| Hat Tip: LGF - on a roll, today... (Note: Title links to full story at Jerusalem Post - Reg Req'd) Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade goons burst into a courtroom in Ramallah earlier today, and gunned down a man who was âstanding trialâ for collaborating with Israel. The man, identified as 35-year-old Youssef Shelbaya from the Amari refugee camp, was shot as he stood before a court in the city. Eyewitnesses told The Jerusalem Post that a number of masked gunmen stormed the courthouse and opened fire at Shelbaya, killing him instantly. They said the victim was standing trial for allegedly collaborating with Israel. They said Palestinian policemen at the scene didn't interfere to prevent the killing. The attackers, who identified themselves as members of Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades, fled the scene. A statement issued later by the group said Shelbaya was executed because he had served as an undercover agent for Israel's secret services while being held in Israeli prisons. The Aksa Martyrs Brigades is responsible for the killing of scores of Palestinians suspected of collaboration with Israel. Two women from Nablus and Tulkarm were brutally murdered earlier this year by the group's gunmen after they allegedly confessed to helping Israel track down wanted Palestinians. One of the victims was a mother of seven. And there you have it. Justice. |
