The Magistrate's Court in Netanya convicted Hagai Amir on Sunday of threatening the life of the prime minister. Hagai Amir is the brother of the Yigal Amir - the assassin of former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. He asked prison guards, "What, are you afraid that I'll kill Sharon? I could pick up the phone and take care of him." The judge determined that the guards' version of the story was accurate. Amir is currently serving a 16-year sentence for his involvement in the murder of Rabin.function initServerVars() { _headup.clientHost = 'http://newstopics.jpost.com'; _headup.termsFromServer = 0; _headup.annotatedTerms = 0; _headup.widgetMode = 'snippet'; _headup.snippetButtonStyle = 'banner'; _headup.blackListedUrl = false; } <!-- Terms Count: 0 TTL: 4 Terms From Server: DateTime: 6/12/2011 8:01:31 AM -->
