StandWithUs Urges Extradition of Suicide Bomber Ahlam Tamimi Ahlam Tamimi, who orchestrated a horrendous suicide bombing in 2001, has been living in Jordan after being released from Israeli prison in a trade. Calls to extradite her over the years have been met with resistance. A new effort has been initiated by the AJC with the U.S. Department of Justice. StandWithUs CEO Roz Rothstein told JNS: "Seventeen lives were lost in the Sbarro suicide bombing (one of the adult victims was pregnant). Another 130 were wounded, many maimed for life. Seven of those killed were children having a late lunch with their parents before the start of Shabbat. The fact that Tamimi is not being made to pay for her murderous crimes and is allowed to live freely and host her own show on Hamas television is a travesty that requires resolution and justice."
