A convicted terrorist representing the Fatah party, which is headed by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, was elected mayor of Hebron in Sunday’s local elections, The Times of Israel reported.
Tayseer Abu Sneinah, who won the election to head the council of the West Bank’s largest city, was one of four men who attacked a group of yeshiva students in Hebron in May 1980, killing six and wounding twenty others.
All four attackers were convicted and sentenced to life in prison, but were released in prisoner exchanges within the decade.

A lot of folks end up being freed in those prisoner exchanges, Israel must feel they have to deal with these situations. So, this attack happened 37 years ago for some perspective.
