Family of Palestinian with US citizenship killed in settler attack demands State Dept. probe

The family of one of two Palestinians killed by Israeli settlers last night, calls for an immediate US State Department investigation into the incident.

US citizen Sayafollah Musallet, 20, also known as Saif, was severely beaten in Sinjil, north of Ramallah, the Palestinian Authority said.

Musallet’s family, from Tampa Florida, says in a statement that medics tried to reach him for three hours before his brother managed to carry him to an ambulance, but that he died before reaching the hospital.

“This is an unimaginable nightmare and injustice that no family should ever have to face. We demand the US State Department lead an immediate investigation and hold the Israeli settlers who killed Saif accountable for their crimes,” the family statement says.
