World IN BRIEF : ISRAEL : Soldier Indicted in Rabin Assassination

An army sergeant was indicted in the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, a day after the confessed gunman in the slaying fed conspiracy rumors by implying before a court appearance in Tel Aviv that he got help from a Rabin bodyguard. First Sgt. Eric Schwartz was charged with smuggling weapons from his military base and giving them to gunman Yigal Amir and Amir’s brother, Hagai. The charges submitted to a military court in Haifa said Schwartz believed the two planned to attack Palestinians. The three key suspects in the assassination--the Amir brothers and a friend, Dror Adani--are expected to be charged later this week.
