ISA appoints internal committee in wake of Zeevy assassination. |

| 17/10/2001 |
ISA Director Avi Dichter and the ISA staff
bow their heads over the loss of Tourism Minister Rechavam Zeevy, who
was assassinated by despicable murderers.
The ISA, including the unit in charge of providing security to VIPs, was
responsible for Minister Zeevy's security, including when he was shot
outside his hotel room in Jerusalem.
We cannot console Yael and their children except for the fact that the
ISA is at their side during these difficult hours.
ISA Director Dichter has today (Wednesday), 17.10.2001, appointed a
committee of enquiry composed of senior ISA operational, intelligence
and personal security officials, and will adopt such necessary changes
as they may recommend.
The committee was established in coordination with Attorney-General
Elyakim Rubinstein so as to facilitate the establishment of an external
committee, if it should be so decided.
The ISA will draw the necessary lessons vis-a-vis personal security in
order to prevent the recurrence of such a disaster; this is our duty.
The ISA will work day and night to apprehend the murderers and deal with
them according to the utmost severity of the law; this is our duty and
our oath.
May his memory be blessed. |
