Israel Detains Settler Who Killed Two Palestinians
--------------------------------------------------



In other news from the region, Israeli police announced on Sunday they
were holding an American-born Jewish settler who they said had confessed
to killing two Palestinians and bombing the home of an Israeli
professor. Jack Teitel reportedly admitted to trying to assassinate
Professor Zeev Sternhell, an outspoken Israeli critic of Jewish
settlements in the occupied West Bank. Sternhell was wounded by a pipe
bomb at his Jerusalem home last year.
