´I Killed Rabbi Kahane´

(IsraelNN.com) On Saturday night, Channel 2 television will broadcast a feature report by Israeli journalists Danny Siton, Tzadok Yechezkeli and Anat Tal Shir in which they purport to show how the 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon could have been prevented.
The key, the reporters claim, is to be found in the investigation into the assassination of Knesset Member Rabbi Meir Kahane in New York in 1990 by Egyptian terrorist El-Sayyid Nosair. In the film, for the first time since the murder, it is revealed that Nosair publicly admitted that he killed Rabbi Kahane, in correspondence with the Israeli journalists.
Speaking with Arutz Sheva Radio on Tuesday, Yechezkeli claimed that in an effort to isolate the Kahane murder and ignore the connections with global Islamic jihad terror, American investigators ignored or whitewashed certain aspects of the crime, which even led to Nosair's aquittal on the murder charge (although he was jailed for illegal weapons possession and subsequently had his sentence extended to life following revelations that he was involved in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center).
In correspondence with the filmmakers, Nosair claims that he has given up the path of terror and supports a peaceful resolution of the conflict over Israel – a single Jewish-Arab "State of Avraham".
