Jewish-American charged with killing Palestinians

Local Editor, 16-11-2009

A Jewish-American extremist, Jack Teitel, has been charged with 14 counts, including shooting two Palestinians to death.
District attorney, Sague Ofir, said it was an "extraordinary" case with regards to the level of crimes committed and their harshness in a short period using explosive devices and poison.

Teitel, 37, who was arrested five weeks ago, began his killing rampage in 1997 when he killed two Palestinians, a taxi driver and a farmer, and stabbed and wounded an Arab in Al-Quds [Jerusalem].
He has also been accused of bombings against a peace activist and messianic Jews who believe in Jesus.

Teitel is an ultra-Orthodox Jewish settler originally from Florida. He arrived in "Israel" a decade ago.
