Yitzhak Rabin’s assassin has threatened to begin a hunger strike if he is not granted conjugal visits with the woman he says he married by proxy, a spokesman for the Israeli Prisons Authority said today.

ISRAEL’S prison director said yesterday he would forbid the killer of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to marry in prison, after reports of his wedding plans caused national uproar.

The daughter of assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was admitted to hospital last night after being told that the jailed killer is to be married.
