American teen convicte
by Israeli court of killir
Monday • Sc
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP] — Samuel
Sheinbein was silent on the subject
for two years. Yesterday, he spoke
only a single word.
“Yes,” the stone-faced Maryland
teen-ager said when an Israeli
judge asked him whether he stran
gled an acquaintance with a rope
in a middle-class suburb of Wash
ington, D.C., then cut up the body
with an electric saw and burned
the parts.
Under a plea bargain that infu
riated U.S. prosecutors, Shein
bein, 19, is to be sentenced to 24
years in an Israeli prison for the
1997 killing. He will probably be
paroled after 14 years, counting
the two years he has already spent
in Israeli custody. He could have
received a much tougher sentenc
if he were convicted as an adult ii
the United States.
Sheinbein fled to Israel shortl
after the killing of Alfredo Tello J
in September 1997 and successfu
ly fought extradition.
The case sharply strained rek
tions between Israel and the Uni
ed States.
Yesterday, standing handcuffe
between two policemen, Sheinbei
stared straight ahead as the verdk
was read out, ignoring the earner
crews that packed the Tel Aviv Di:

questions shouted at him as h
came in.

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (AP) —
A negotiating deadlock yesterday
forced Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright to mediate de
tails of a teetering West Bank
agreement between Israel and the
Palestinians rather than risk a ma
jor diplomatic setback.
The sticking point was a dis
pute over how many Palestinian
prisoners Israel would release as
a goodwill gesture to Palestinian
leader Yasser Arafat. Some are in
jail for terrorist acts.
After conferring in Alexan
dria with Egyptian President
Hosni Mubarak, no stranger
himself to the mediator’s role,
Albright telephoned Israeli
Prime Minister Ehud Barak and
met with Arafat.
