The World : Muslims Report Killing Jew
Lebanese Muslim extremists said they killed a 52-year-old Lebanese Jew, kidnaped a year ago, in retaliation for the current Israeli raids on Muslim villages in southern Lebanon. The Organization of the Oppressed on Earth, believed to consist of Shia Muslims, reported killing Elie Hallak, a physician and vice president of the Higher Council of Lebanon’s Jews, who was abducted last February in Muslim West Beirut. The group has killed three other Jewish hostages in the last two months and claims to hold three more.
