Henkins’ killer didn’t shoot kids because Islam ‘forbids it’

According to a transcript from the interrogation of one of the men who killed the Henkin couple last month, he and his accomplice saw the four children in the back seat after killing their parents, but decided not to harm them.

“First of all, the Islamic religion forbids it — meaning, the murder of children,” cell leader Yihya Haj Muhammad is quoted by Channel 2 as saying to a Shin Bet interrogator. “My character prevents me from killing or harming a baby.”
