(Video) Tapes of Friday
gunfire in Old City clearly
show Arab-Terrorist man
grabbing guard's gun and
firing it repeatedly,
disproving claims that he had
been innocent and was
'murdered for nothing'
VIDEO - Surveillance videos
clearly show Ahmad Mahmoud
Khatib - perpetrator of the
Friday shooting in the Old
City of Jerusalem - stealing a
gun from a security guard and
shooting him, despite claims
to the contrary by his family.
Jerusalem police authorized
the publication of the
surveillance tapes on Sunday.


Khatib grabbed a weapon from a
guard of the Ateret Kohanim
yeshiva and then set off
through the Old City's street
shooting back wildly at
another yeshiva guard who
pursued him. Ten bystanders
and one of the guards were
injured in the crossfire
before the shooter was killed.

When the incident was first
broadcast, some witnesses
claimed that the guard had
shot and killed Khatib once he
was already down. This
allegation was later repeated
by Arab Knesset member Ahmed
Tibi, but as can be seen, is
not evident from the video.

Khatib's acquaintances and
relatives of the shooter
expressed disbelief that he
had been involved in the
incident at all, saying he
'was a quiet and introverted
person... simply a person who
is incapable of doing such a
thing'.

Some acquaintances went as far
as to say that incident was
made up by the two security
guards in order to avoid
murder charges, claiming that
'there is no evidence' that
Khatib had tried to snatch the
gun and that the incident
constituted 'first-degree
murder' in which the man was
'killed for nothing'.

Meanwhile, over the weekend,
three Palestinian
organizations -- the military
wings of Fatah, the Islamic
Jihad and the Popular Front
for the Liberation of
Palestine -- claimed
responsibility for the
attempted terror attack which
they referred to as 'a
military operation' in
Jerusalem.

The Shin Bet has been given
exclusive control over the
case and will try to determine
whether Khatib was affiliated
with a particular Palestinian
organization or whether he was
working independently.

On Friday, Shin Bet operatives
questioned several residents
of the shooter's hometown, the
Arab-Israeli village of Kfar
Manda, in order to learn more
about Khatib's background and
potential connections.
