State prosecutor: Ze'evi killers to face trial in Israeli court
By Yuval Yoaz, Amos Harel and Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondents

State prosecutor Eran Shendar on Thursday said Israel would be capable of trying four of the six suspects in the assassination of tourism minister Rehavam Ze'evi in October 2001.

According to Shendar, Attorney General Menachem Mazuz will determine whether to try them in a civilian or military court. Earlier Thursday Mazuz said "Israel has a clear interest to try the murderers of an Israeli minister in an Israeli court in the State of Israel."

The six Palestinian inmates were seized Tuesday in a raid by the Israel Defense Forces on the Palestinian Authority prison in Jericho, where they have been held in the last four years.

Two of the six inmates will definitely face trial in Israel since they were imprisoned by the PA without undergoing legal proceedings: Ahmed Saadat, leader of the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine organization and Fuad Shubaki, suspected financier of an illegal weapons shipment to the Palestinian Authority several years ago

Shendar made the statement following a meeting with Military Advocate General Brig. Gen. Avihai Mandelblitt, Shendar's deputies as well as senior officials at the Shin Bet security service and State Prosecution.

At the meeting it was established that Israel possesses the jurisdiction necessary to try Ze'evi's murderers even though they have already been convicted and sentenced by a Palestinian Authority court. The legal professionals, however, did not make a final decision on what court will try the killers - military or civilian.
