'Reasonable Suspicion' Leads to Death of Palestinian Who Went to Buy Cookies
Out of the darkness and from behind a parked civilian car, shots are fired at a moving car that contains three friends. The driver, 22, is killed. The 19-year-old sitting next to him is wounded in the head. The second passenger, 20, is sitting in the back and isn’t hit, but suffers severe shock.
State officials Chief Inspector Yosef Amuial and Sgt. Maj. David Cohen later stated in court that the two suspects and their deceased friend had attempted to commit murder using their car as a weapon. Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court Judge David Shaul Gabai Richter was almost convinced. “There was reasonable suspicion to believe that the movement of the vehicle was not random but deliberate,” he said. However, that suspicion was not “of a strong nature.”
He therefore ordered that the two men be remanded until the following afternoon, not for six days as requested by the state, in order to enable the police to conduct further confidential inquiries. These revealed nothing and the two young men – Fares Risheq and Mohammed Nassar – were released the following day.
