I haven't had a chance to listen to this broadcast yet, but just the idea that someone could have the strength of character to go from being an extremist to becoming a peace activist, and then continue to do so when his 10-year-old daughter is killed just brings tears to my eyes.

The killing of a 10-year-old Palestinian girl in the West Bank has cast a pall over Palestinian and Israeli peace activists. Israeli investigators are questioning border police who were involved in a clash with Palestinians in Anata, during which the girl was slain.

The mood in Anata is angry. But the girl's father, a militant who became a peace activist, says his daughter's death makes him want to work harder for a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
