Jerusalem: Israel yesterday commuted the lengthy prison terms of seven Jews convicted of murdering or plotting to kill Arabs, in a move that has angered the Palestinian Authority.
The prisoners included Ami Popper, who killed seven Palestinians in a wild shooting spree in 1990. From seven life sentences, his sentence has been reduced to 40 years. He could be eligible for release on parole after serving two thirds of that term.
