Family of slain Palestinian teen confronts suspects
- 10 years ago
Tension was high as the family of slain Palestinian teen Mohammed Abu Khudair arrived at court.
Minutes later the Jewish supects accused of murdering Khudair were led into the room.
For the first time, the family and the accused were face to face.
Palestinians believe Khudair's death was a revenge killing -- in retaliation for the abduction and murder of three Jewish teens in the West Bank.
Khudair's body was found burned and buried in a forest the day after the three Jewish teens were buried.
Khudair's relatives say they want justice.
