Wolf bites: Palestinian Authority to cheer murderer...who's surprised


PA Wants Festive Funeral for Killer -Khaled Abu Toameh

The Palestinian Authority has asked Israel to hand over the remains of Dalal Mughrabi [pictured at right], the Palestinian woman who led the 1978 coastal road attack in which 36 people were murdered and 71 wounded.

The PA said it wanted to "honor" Mughrabi by holding a big funeral for her in Ramallah. Azzam al-Ahmed, a senior Fatah official closely associated with Mahmoud Abbas, described Mughrabi as a "the first Palestinian woman to carry out one of the most courageous operations in Israel."

"We want to turn Dalal's funeral into a national wedding, a major celebration," he said.
