Terrorist Walid Daqqa died in jail earlier this week

CNN conveniently leaves out the main points of Tamam’s horrific torture and homicide.
Tamam was kidnapped and held for ransom. When the ransom bid failed, he was murdered on Daqqah’s orders, however not earlier than being tortured, together with having his eyes gouged out and being castrated.
Tamam, who was on depart from the army when he was murdered, vanished after accompanying his girlfriend to her house within the metropolis of Tiberias and returning by bus to Tel Aviv.
His physique was discovered 4 days later close to the doorway to the city of Mevo Dotan within the West.
Tamam’s killers gouged out his eyes, mutilated his physique and castrated him earlier than taking him to an olive grove and capturing him useless, in accordance with stories on the time.
CNN appeared to reflect Amnesty Worldwide’s (AI) lamenting of the terrorist’s dying. AI described Daqqa as merely “a writer,” leaving out the main points of his barbaric cruelty.
