Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israel Razes Home of 16-Year-old Suicide Bomber

HeadlineNov 02, 2004

In the West Bank city of Nablus, Israeli troops have destroyed the home of the teenage Palestinian suicide bomber a day after he carried out an attack that killed three Israelis in Tel Aviv. Meanwhile the mother of the 16-year-old Amer al-Fahr, criticized those who sent her son to death. She said, “It’s immoral to send someone so young. They should have sent an adult who understood the meaning of his deeds.” Amer al-Fahr is one of the youngest suicide bombers to attack Israel during the intifada. Overnight undercover Israeli forces killed three Palestinian members of the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades.
