9. Terrorist's sister: 'It's the most beautiful martyrdom'
Mon Jan 9, 2017, 09:06 PM
Jan 2017

The sister of Fadi Ahmad Al-Qunbar, who carried out the truck-ramming attack in Jerusalem on Sunday that killed four and wounded 17, welcomed the news of her brother's act of terrorism later in the day.

After learning of her 28-year-old brother's having slain one officer and three cadets in the IDF officers' training course in East Talpiot, also known as Armon Hanatziv, in the capital, Al-Qunbar's sister commented, "Praise be to God that he became a martyr. It's the most beautiful martyrdom."

...

Visiting the scene of the attack on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "according to all the signs, he was a supporter of ISIS."

Responding to claims that he was affiliated to a terrorist group, she said, "He didn't belong to any group or political movement. He carried out the attack on his own. Praise the Lord for him becoming a shahid. It is the most beautiful kind of saintly death."

Hamas praised the attack, trying to get #TruckIntifada trending on Twitter and handing out sweets in Gaza to celebrate it.
