Rabin's killer to be allowed conjugal visits

Israeli authorities have agreed to allow Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassin to receive conjugal visits in prison so he and his wife can try to start a family, Israeli media reported today.

The reports said that the Shin Bet security agency had determined that Yigal Amir, serving a life sentence without parole for the 1995 assassination, did not pose a threat to the public and should be allowed to consummate his two-year-old marriage.
