Court Puts Settler Under House Arrest
From Times Wire Reports
A Jerusalem court has ordered a Jewish settler suspected in the fatal shooting of a Palestinian teenager put under house arrest pending a decision on formal charges. Palestinians protested the decision and called Thursday’s shooting unprovoked. Settlers defended the suspect’s action and demanded his release. The settler, Avshalom Ladani, was to stay in a Jerusalem hostel, where his family would be allowed to join him for the Jewish New Year holiday, for at least a week.
