Palestinian police kill Israeli visitor West Bank Site Sainte - New York Times

The shooting occurred outside tomb of Joseph in the city of Nablus, West Bank after three carloads of Jewish religious Israelis visited the site to pray without coordinating their plans by the Israeli army. Twice a month of trips to the Tomb were organized with escort army for the past four years without incident.

Responsible for Palestinian security, said that they were Palestinian police interrogation which fired their weapons during the episode. The dead man was identified as Ben Yossef Livnat, an old father for 24 years from four of Jerusalem and the nephew of Limor Livnat, the Minister of culture and sport of the Party of the Likud in Israel. Mr. Livnat grew up in a village near Nablus, where his parents still live.

After the shooting, Palestinian youths light outside the Tomb. Israeli and Palestinian security officials extinguished their. Later, at a funeral for Mr. Livnat procession that began in the colony nearby, dozens of settlers masked Israelis attacked Palestinians on the road, breaking their cars and injuring a boy.

The procession ended at a grave on the Mount of olives in Jerusalem where Ms. Livnat, Minister, and the aunt of man dead, called his killing "cold-blooded murder."

A statement by the Minister of defence, Ehud Barak, who is responsible for Israeli security in the West Bank, has also used the term "murder", adding, "no coordination failure cannot justify an event of this kind and shoot innocent people.". Mr. Barak instructed the army to study and demanded that the Palestinians to do the same and take all necessary measures against those who fired.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the killing as well.

The Palestinian Governor of Nablus, Jibril al-Bakri, said in the Radio Israel that the shooting was the result of a lack of coordination between the faithful and the Israeli army. He said that the police Palestinian officers who were on a regular patrol shot a warning in the air before shooting cars. He noted that the shooting was a mistake.

A spokesman for the army Israeli said the day that Israeli and Palestinian security officials had met and exchanged what they knew and were continuing their investigations.

The Palestinians, said, accused the Israelis faithful of having thrown rocks at the police before the beginning of the shooting.

David Ha'Ivri, a Jewish settler spokesman who is involved in the coordination of visits to the tomb of Joseph with the Israeli army said some believers refused to visit in this manner and sneaked into their own.

"We do not endorse that," said Mr. Ha'Ivri. "We call on people to be responsible." He added that visits organised in the Tomb were nevertheless still too scarce to allow all those who wish to go. Most of those who stealthily in the Breslov Hassidic sect members who live in Jerusalem, said he and other.

The military spokesman said on the Jewish holidays - it's now the Passover - it was not uncommon that some Jews piles into the Holy places under Palestinian control. If you're surprised by the Palestinians, they are almost always given to Israelis without violence, he said.

Many Jews believe that the tomb of Joseph is the final burial of the son of Jacob, the biblical Patriarch.

A spokesman for the Israeli rescue service Magen David Adom, said that the cars had been taken on after visit to the Tomb. He said that, apart from Mr. Livnat, who died of a bullet in the head, two others in a second car were evacuated by helicopter. Others were slightly injured and treated on the spot.

Police found more remains on Long Island

The police found a skull as a bag containing the only official implementation legislation said appeared to be "upper and lower extremities". They were found in two or three miles apart. the authorities said that they had not determined if the remains were more of a victim.

The two discoveries were made off the coast of the north end of the promenade of the ocean, and the discovery of eight bodies in the County of Suffolk. The first four of these bodies have been found near Gilgo Beach in December and belonged to prostitutes in his 20s who had disappeared since 2007.

Because these four victims were all sex workers and their bodies had been dumped in canvas bags of jute, investigators suspect that the same killer was responsible.

The other sets of remains human, found since late March, have not been identified. It is unclear if the police have turned to all links to suggest that the same killer was to blame.

"We have eight sets in Suffolk County," said a spokesman for the Nassau County, lieutenant detective Kevin Smith Police service. "We have two more now." It was very surprising. ?

As for what link exists, if any, exists between the remains found Monday and the body found in the East, the detective Lieutenant Smith said only, "it bears investigation."

A State Police officer and a dog trained to sniff found dead early Monday - the bag remains containing the ends - about three miles west of the county line, shortly before noon. It was not immediately clear what type of bag held the remains.

Around 3: 30 p.m., research officers about a mile west of the county line found what appeared to be a human skull hidden among the Brambles and thickets, Lieutenant detective Smith said at a press conference.

The skull was found approximately 96 feet North Ocean Parkway in a reserve, the John f. Kennedy Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary, said Lieutenant detective Smith.

The discoveries of the bodies began in December as the County of Suffolk authorities searched a missing prostitute from New Jersey, Shannan Gilbert, who disappeared in May. It has yet to be found.

After combing their seven miles extending from the promenade of the ocean, an East-West Highway which crosses the island Jones Beach, Suffolk suspended their search authorities last week, and the focus turned to a stretch of five miles of Ocean Parkway in Nassau, extending west to the Wantagh State Parkway.

"Concluded Suffolk their research on the county line, and we decided to go a little further," said Lieutenant detective Smith.

Monday, about 150 Police officers of the State, the Police State Park and the Police of Nassau service - some horse - scoured coastal dunes on the South side of the Ocean Parkway and tangled vegetation on the North.

In case L.I. serial killer is seen as in police Techniques

A series of telephone calls made sister girl of one of the victims sarcasm - appeals that the police suspect comes the killer — have been manufactured from in or around some of the places most populated of New York, including the Madison Square Garden and Times SquareAccording to the people informed of the case and the mother of Melissa Barthelemy, this victim.

Locations, investigators say, were probably chosen because they allowed the appellant to blend into the crowd, so that if the investigators identified location of the cell phone signal, they would be unable to take the crowd with surveillance cameras at proximitécelui of the said people.

This fact, and the use of the killer cell phones disposable to communicate with four victims identified - women in their twenties who their services on Craigslist - suggested that some investigators that the killer was paid in criminal investigation techniquesgleaned through personal experience or otherwise, and may even be in application of the Act itself.

"He is a guy who knows how we use technology," said an investigator. "Frankly, people may think he could be a COP"-is an even application of the Act or a person who has left.

"No doubt this guy is smart, this guy is not a dope," the investigator continued. "This is a guy who thinks only of things".

Also, the appellant kept each of its vulgar, mocking and insulting the calls within three minutes, according to the mother of dead woman, Lynn Barthelemy. The appellant made to the subject a half-dozen calls for about five weeks to the victim's sister.

An investigator said the short-term efforts calls thwarted by the New York Police Department to use the signal to locate the location of the appellant and find him, something that Lynn Barthelemy said they told him they were trying to do four times.

Investigators from New York began these efforts about a week after the disappearance of Melissa Barthelemy, 24 years old who lived in the Bronx, on July 10, 2009.

The investigator and several others, noted that the idea that the killer could be a former or active law enforcement officer was just a theory questioned by homicide investigators in the County of Suffolk, where the bodies were found.

Chief of Police of Suffolk of the detectives, Dominick Varrone, would say only, "our investigation team plans many theories and all possibilities."

In a statement late Friday, police Commissioner, Richard Dormer, stated that "no suspect has been identified in homicides Gilgo Beach".

Body of Ms. Barthelemy was one of the four discovered in three days in December in the thick underbrush along Ocean Parkway, near Gilgo Beach, in the town of Babylon. All have been dumped in jute bags.

It is unclear if the examiner's Office medical county, in collaboration with its counterpart in New York City, determined the causes of death in four cases.

The discovery marked the third time in 20 years that a killer in series of prostitutes had harassed on Long Island.

After the snow melts, intensified Suffolk police their research in the field. March 29, a naval officer discovered a fifth set of remains, and two days later, three more remains were found, more than a kilometre east from where the first bodies were found in cluster.

Two officials informed the said case it appears that these additional sets of remains were dumped several years before those found in December, and there are no jute bags.

They said other differences that distinguished them four bodies that have been identified, but they do not speak them.

Both officials suggested that the differences were referred to the possibility that remains in the last two weeks - the police have not yet identify them or say if they have determined the sex of the dead - were not linked to four women Craigslist.

But they said also that differences can be attributed to the development of the technique of the killer over time.
