Israeli minister brushes off US terrorism label for suspected settler killing
JERUSALEM, Aug 8 - An Israeli official brushed off on Tuesday the rare U.S. use of the term "terror attack" to condemn the killing of a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank, as a court ruled one of the Jewish settlers held as suspects be released to house arrest.
"We strongly condemn yesterday's terror attack by Israeli extremist settlers," the U.S. State Department's Near East Bureau said on Saturday, in its first application of the term in the context of settler violence.of "deliberate or depraved-indifference homicide" with a racist motivation, but a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet argued that culpability for the Burqa death was far from clear.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the court decision, saying it would encourage further violence, and Israel Police said it would seek to appeal the ruling.
