It's always interesting to see how the Pro-Islamist/Anti-American movement will respond.....Herein is "The Rest Of The Story" regarding Mohammed Abu Khedair:
Israel: 3 indicted in Palestinian teen's 'revenge' death By Tal Heinrich and Jason Hanna, CNN http://edition.cnn.com/2014/07/17/world/meast/israel-palestinian-teen-death-indictment/ An adult and two minors have been indicted in what Israeli authorities say was the revenge killing of a Palestinian teen -- a death that helped stoke tensions between Israelis and Palestinians this month -- an Israeli district attorney said Thursday. Israeli authorities say the three abducted, beat and burned Mohammed Abu Khedair, 16, "only because he was an Arab," the Jerusalem district attorney said. Abu Khedair's body was found in a Jerusalem forest on the morning of July 2. Prosecutors allege the killing was retaliation for the deaths of three Israeli teens whose bodies were found in the West Bank in late June. <http://edition.cnn.com/videos> "The indictment (that was) filed elaborates on a serious and shocking racist act carried out against (an) innocent boy," the attorney general's office said. The suspects are a 29-year-old man from the West Bank settlement of Adam and two of his 16-year-old relatives -- one from Jerusalem and the other from Beit Shemesh, Israel, prosecutors said. Abu Khedair was heading from his home to a mosque in the middle-class neighborhood of Shuafat in East Jerusalem for prayers around 4 a.m. on July 2 when three people forced him into a car and drove off, his father, Hussain Abu Khedair, told CNN. Prosecutors say the three defendants strangled and beat Abu Khedair. Then, while he was unconscious, they burned him to death, prosecutors say. News of the boy's death led to several clashes in Jerusalem's Palestinian neighborhoods, the biggest of which was centered in Shuafat. Residents there threw stones at security forces, and Israeli authorities responded with occasional volleys of stun grenades and tear gas. During one of those clashes on July 3, Abu Khedair's American cousin, Tariq Abu Khdeir, 15, was beaten by Israeli police. Amateur video showed Israeli police officers holding down, punching and kicking Abu Khdeir, a Florida resident who was visiting relatives. The 15-year-old and his family have said he did nothing wrong, and he returned to Florida this week after a brief home detention. Israeli authorities say they have suspended a police officer accused of beating him. The death of the Palestinian teen, Abu Khedair, came less than a month after three Israeli teens -- Eyal Yifrach, 19; Gilad Shaar, 16; and Naftali Frankel, a 16-year-old dual U.S.-Israeli citizen -- were abducted while hitchhiking home from school in the West Bank. They were found dead on June 30. The Israeli government blamed the Islamic militant group Hamas, which praised the abductions but denied it was responsible. Israel responded in part by arresting Hamas activists. Militants in Gaza, the Palestinian territory that Hamas controls, stepped up rocket fire into Israel, and Israel responded with airstrikes.
