10 years ago tonight

10 years ago tonight on the Jewish calendar, a 'Palestinian' suicide bomber walked into Cafe Hillel in Jerusalem, murdering seven people, including Dr. David Appelbaum and his daughter Nava HY"D (May God Avenge her blood). Nava was to have been married the next night (Hat Tip: Gershon D).
Slightly less than two years ago, Palestinian Authority terrorist Ibrahim Muhammad Yunus Dar Musa, who helped plan the gruesome murders, was among more than 1,000 terrorists and security prisoners whose prison sentences were cut short in order to enable the safe return of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit. Dar Musa was sentenced to only 17 years in jail for organizing the suicide bombing.

Dr. Applebaum, a native of Detroit and an ordained rabbi, headed a hospital emergency room and had developed new methods for treating suicide bombing victims. He was walking into Jerusalem’s Hillel restaurant with his 20-year-old daughter, born in Cleveland, when the suicide bomber detonated his explosives.

...

The security guard at the restaurant, warned by intelligence officials of a possible terrorist attack, spotted the suicide bomber but did not want to shoot him in the back, fearing that the bullet would set off the bomb.
I admit that I don't recall hearing that last paragraph before.
