Syed Slaman Ali | 14 years ago | Reply This "Terrorism Enterprise" says that they are Muslims, but I never heard a bomb blast in Israel stating that it's done by them..!

Hamood | 14 years ago | Reply I agree with Ali. These courts are useless and have the blood of so many innocents on their hands. Time and again the acquitted terrorists reward these courts by suicide bombing more innocents. Most of these terrorists need to be tried by military tribunals or better yet the FIRING SQUAD.
