The attack, in which 8 other civilians died and fifteen more were injured, was about as helpful as a suicide bomber - and just as illegal and outrageous.
This killing wasn't carried out to prevent terrorism. Murdering a popular, partially sighted, hard of hearing and quadriplegic old man just as he came out of a mosque, is BOUND to increase acts of terrorism rather than prevent it.
This murder was done in the name of boosting Sharon's flagging political support in the wake of his plans for the withdrawl from the Gaza strip.
