Palestinian who stabbed to death British woman ruled fit for trial

The Palestinian man who stabbed to death a British woman in a Jerusalem terror attack on Friday is fit to stand trial, a psychiatrist for the Jerusalem district branch of the State Prosecutor’s Office determined Tuesday.

East Jerusalem resident Jamil Tamimi killed Hannah Bladon, 20, an exchange student from Birmingham University who was on a study program at the Hebrew University, as she rode on the Jerusalem Light Rail in the capital.


Tamimi, 57, a Palestinian with a history of mental problems, was given a psychological assessment in light of his past, which included treatment at the Kfar Shaul Mental Health Center and an attempt to commit suicide.
