Senior Jewish Community Leader Stabbed In Yemen
2012-05-23
A senior Jewish community leader in Yemen was stabbed at the market in Sana'a by a Mohammedan who accused the Jew of casting a spell on him.
 
The Jewish leader's son told AFP the incident took place near the American embassy and that his 50-year-old father sustained stomach and neck wounds.
The Jerusalem Post adds that he died of his wounds.
The son, Yehya Zindani described the attacker as a “well-known person who says my father has ruined and bewitched him.” According to Israeli media reports the attacker stabbed Zindani 12 times before being stopped by a group of men and tossed in the calaboose
Please don't kill me!
A friend of Zindani, Shlomo Grafi, told Army Radio that he had been killed by a "member of al-Qaeda."

Grafi said that Zindani had returned to Yemen after he had made aliya and lived in Israel in the 1990s.

Grafi claimed that the Jewish community in Sanaa, numbering some 80 members, did not feel that they were in danger despite the volatile political climate in Yemen.
