Two convicted saboteurs were sentenced to life imprisonment by a military tribunal in Tulkarem today. They are Rahman Abdul Rahman Aduwan, 25, a student at the Nablus English College and Mouhamad Moustafa Taha, 20, a construction worker who once worked in Tel Aviv. A large cache of arms and ammunition was found in the garden of Aduwan’s home. Both were residents of Kalkilya. The pair was found guilty of planting explosives in a synagogue in Kfar Saba.
