A group of Arab youths have reportedly attacked an Israeli film director, Yariv Horowitz.
Horowitz, who directed the film “Rock the Casbah” was participating at a film festival in France when he was attacked by a group of Arab youths just before the film won the best film award.
He is reported to have lost consciousness and has been subsequently treated. Horowitz is said to have returned immediately to the festival after treatment. Authorities are estimating that the attack was racially motivated.
OT – ’82 Pan Am [ Muslim ] bomber who killed boy freed
NEW YORK – Mohammed Rashed, who placed a bomb that damaged a Pan Am jet over the Pacific in 1982, killing a Japanese high schooler, was released from federal prison Wednesday, a U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman said.
“He was released early this morning,” Chris Burke said, adding that Rashed, 63, was being held at a facility in Pennsylvania.
Rashed’s release was in exchange for information on other terrorist plots under an agreement that will also deport him to a country of his choice, AP said. It has not been disclosed which country he wants to go to.
In the 1982 incident, Rashed got off the Pan Am flight at Narita airport after planting a time bomb under a seat of the plane. The flight was on its way to Honolulu that Aug. 11 when the device exploded, killing Toru Ozawa, 16, under whose seat the bomb had been planted. Ozawa was setting off on a vacation with his family. Fifteen other passengers were also wounded, including Ozawa’s parent, but the pilots managed to land the plane.
Rashed, a Jordanian-born Palestinian, fled to Iraq and remained at large for several years before being captured in 1988 in Greece, where he was tried and handed a 15-year prison sentence. He was released in 1996 after serving eight years, and was extradited to the United States from Egypt two years later.
In May 2006, Rashed was sentenced to another seven years in jail as part of plea deal in the United States.
He is linked to Abu Ibrahim, who is on the FBI watch list of most-wanted terrorists and is believed to be living in Lebanon, according to media reports.

They still dont get it. It was not racial but motivated by Islam and the koran.
It can’t be racially motivated because he looks quite ‘caucasian’ to me, and everybody knows that Whites can’t be the victims of racial attacks – only Whites are racist, remember?
Authorities are estimating that the attack was racially motivated.
Put a little more effort into the bullshit fellas, please. Estimated? Was “suspected” too insensitive to Islam?
All of the above.
The irony is that this guy was beaten by the those he so ardently defends.
