A Key Step towards Justice is the Extradition of Ali Zaki Hage Jalil for the Panama Airline Bombing that Killed all 21 On Board
There were no survivors in the attack, considered the deadliest in the country’s history.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar welcomed on Sunday the announcement by Venezuela of the extradition to Panama of Ali Zaki Hage Jalil, a suspect in the bombing of a Panamanian commercial airliner in July 1994 that left 21 dead and which was allegedly linked to the Lebanese Shiite organization Hezbollah.
In the text, the minister stated that the decision to extradite Jalil from Venezuela, announced by the Panamanian Foreign Ministry this Friday, represents “a significant step forward.”
