Earlier this year, another member of their unit was jailed for six and a half years, but he fled the country.A fourth officer was jailed for four and a half years in a plea bargain.Mr Abu Hamdieh was seized from outside his home in Hebron on 30 December 2002.

He suffered serious head injuries when members of the border police unit - celebrating the end of their posting in Hebron - made him jump from their jeep as it sped through the streets. BBC
