Rabbis questioned

Jerusalem - Two rabbis suspected of issuing a religious ruling before the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin that justified his killing are being interrogated, Israel radio reported. Police are investigating whether one or several right-wing rabbis issued a ruling under Jewish law that allows the killing of someone defined as a rodef, or pursuer, to prevent him causing the deaths of his victims.
