Court Holds Second Session to Examine Dutch Expert Case [Archives:2000/18/Local News]

Southwest Sana’a court Tuesday, May 2, 2000 will be holding its second session to examine the murder case of the Dutch expert, Jon Bol, and the Deputy Manager of the Project, Mohammed Haider.
Defendant Abdul-Al-Razzaq Al-Ja’adi, has confessed killing both the Manager of the Project and the Dutch expert in the first session. He confessed that he murdered them in the late February 2000 saying that what he did was a religious duty and that it was Jihad. He said that the Dutch expert was disseminating atheist ideas while the project Manager refused to listen to his advice and return to God. He also asked the court to acquit him and release him. Some news reported that he was insane but he denied these allegations and confirmed being sane and in full control of his actions.
