A Palestinian military court sentenced to death a Palestinian security officer, Hassan Mohammed Hassan Musalam, 55, to death by firing squad. He was found guilty of helping Israel's army during the four-month-old Palestinian revolt.Palestinians in the court room whistled and clapped when a tribunal of three judges condemned Hasan to death. Now, President Yasser Arafat must ratify any death sentence before it is carried out.
