A Palestinian woman accused of using the Internet to lure Israeli teen-ager Ofir Rahum to his death admitted to planning to kidnap him, but said she did not intend to kill him. Israel Radio reported that Amana Mona told investigators she had communicated with several Israelis who had expressed anti-Palestinian sentiments. As a result, she said, she decided to kidnap one of them to send a message to the world about the deaths of young Palestinians in the ongoing violence.
