Blood on Sami al-Arian's Hands

Sphere: Related Content

Palestinian Islamic Jihad supporter Sami al-Arian is on trial in Florida for aiding terrorist groups. Here is an example of what the PIJ has done under the "peaceful" auspices of Islam:

Life and death was determined by inches and posture on April 9, 1995.
An Egged bus trudged toward an Israeli settlement in the Gaza Strip. It carried soldiers returning from leave and three American college girls heading for a spring vacation at a Mediterranean resort.


Kesari Ruza dozed as the bus wound through desert scrub fields toward a settlement called Kfar Darom. Her friend, Alisa Flatow, sat in the window seat next to her, and Chava Knapp sat in the row behind them.

A van raced up on the opposite side of the bus. Its 24-year- old driver blew up the van. Ruza remembers a noise, like someone was pelting the bus with rocks, and then heard a commotion as people shouted to get down.

She doesn't remember seeing a fireball. But shrapnel went flying.

Ruza was cut badly on her hands and head. But she walked away. Flatow, seated to her left and farther from the blast, suffered a severe head injury and died a short time later.
