Relatives of U.S. citizens killed by Palestinian terrorists in Israel and the Gaza Strip in 1995 and 1996 called on the U.S. government to more actively seek the extradition to the United States of those responsible for the acts. The request, also voiced by a survivor of a terrorist attack, came at a U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing on the matter. The Palestinian Authority has at least seven suspects in custody in attacks that killed most of the 12 American citizens who have died in terrorist attacks since 1993.
