Jew convicted of manslaughter for Palestinian suicide bombing

An Israeli Jew was convicted today of manslaughter for smuggling a Palestinian suicide bomber from the West Bank into Israel, where he carried out an attack that killed five Israelis.

The Tel Aviv District Court found Kfir Levy guilty of transporting the bomber from the West Bank, through an army checkpoint, into Israel. The Palestinian blew himself up at the entrance to a mall in the coastal city of Netanya on July 12, 2005. In addition to the five Israelis killed, 80 were wounded.
