Sister of Jerusalem ramming driver calls attack ‘most beautiful martyrdom’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe sister of the 28-year-old Palestinian Fadi al-Qunbar, who carried out a ramming attack earlier on Sunday in Jerusalem, says her brother was “religious” and did not belong to any groups.
Qunbar’s sister, unnamed in the reports, says the attacker was married and a father to two girls and two boys.
When asked by a reporter for the Quds News Network what she thought of the attack, Qunbar’s sister responded, “God chose him for this martyrdom. Thank God. We are patient and we thank God for this… it is the most beautiful martyrdom.”
The sister said her family found out about her brother’s attack from Faceook and the media.
