Terrorism

Before he's even freed, terrorist vows to murder more Jews

Samir Kuntar, the Lebanese terrorist imprisoned in Israel for the cold-blooded murder of four Jews three decades ago, and whose release in exchange for IDF prisoners held in Lebanon is believed imminent, is already planning to kill again.

According to Israel National News Monday, Kuntar pledged in a letter recently written to Hizb'allah chief Hassan Nasrallah that he fully intends to continue down the path that led him to be locked up in 1979.

The Palestinian Media Watch translated a letter Kuntar wrote to Nasrallah last February pledged his allegiance:

"May peace be unto you, Hajj Imad. My oath and pledge is that my place will be at the battlefront, which is soaked in the sweat of your giving, and the blood of the most beloved among men (a reference to "shahids," Arabic for "martyrs" – a reference to terrorists who give up their lives for the cause) and that I shall continue down the path until complete victory," he wrote. "I give to you, Sir Abu Hadi (a reference to Hassan Nasrallah) and to all the Jihad Fighters, my congratulations and renewed loyalty."

Reports INN: Kuntar was responsible for the murders of four Israelis during an attack he led on Nahariyah in 1979. The brutality of the attack inspired the judge to sentence the terrorist to one of the longest prison sentences ever handed down in the Jewish State. Kuntar, who belonged at the time to the Palestine Liberation Front terrorist group, first murdered 28-year-old Dani Haran, then crushed his 4-year-old daughter Eynat's skull with his rifle butt. He then killed two police officers. Eynat's 2-year-old sister Yael also died in the attack, accidentally suffocated to death by her terrified mother while hiding during the deadly attack.

Despite his total lack of contrition and the very real danger this committed killer poses to more Jews, the Olmert government is reportedly finalizing the deal that will see him set free and welcomed as a hero in the entire Islamic world.

Israel has a history of releasing terrorists in demonstrations of its good will, only to see many return to their killing ways.
