The mother of the vile mass murderer who slaughtered 9 people in Tel Aviv on Monday told Western reporters after the attack that she had no idea her son was planning such a thing.

But in this article at The Times, she says she’s proud of him: “Even though I am suffering, my suicide bomber son was a hero”.

“He was a hero and I am proud of Samir but I have suffered from his loss,” she said of her eldest son. “I have seen their soldiers killing our children and destroying our home, making everything bad, so how can I see them sympathetically or kindly?”

 Frank says:

Well Mike, I'm abnormal. -- When FZ appeared on the Mike Douglas show (solo, playing guitar with recorded backup), Mike said "Your latest album is called Zoot Allures. How do you come up with such names for your records?" (or something equally banal!) Frank's succinct reply is printed above.
