48: Justice for Malki: Arnold Roth calls for Tamimi's extradition and BBC apology to its audience

Arnold Roth, father of teenager Malki, who was murdered in a Jerusalem suicide bombing, is calling for the extradition from Jordan of the attack’s planner.

He’s also calling for the BBC to apologise to its Arabic audience for “toxic distortions” of the murderer’s characterisation. Malki Roth, just 15-years old, was one of 15 victims of a suicide bomber at the Sbarro pizza restaurant in Jerusalem, orchestrated by Ahlam Aref Ahmad Al-Tamimi, who drove the bomber to the site.

Tamimi was sentenced to 16 life terms by Israel for her role in the attack, but was one of the prisoners freed in exchange for the release of Gilad Shalit in 2011.

She lives freely in Jordan and openly boasts about how she orchestrated the suicide mission, while at the same time presenting herself as a victim.
