Judge Asks Israel for Help in Terror Case       WASHINGTON (CN)
- A U.S. magistrate judge sent an official letter to the State
of Israel seeking judicial assistance in a terrorism lawsuit
involving the PLO and the Palestinian Authority.      Facciola
also asked for any records documenting the use of physical
coercion while interrogating Rimawi.      "As such, the evidence
obtained will aid in the prosecution of this case because it may
assist plaintiffs in proving circumstances of Esther Klieman's
murder on March 24, 2002 near Neve Tzuf, Israel and the support
allegedly provided by the PA/PLO and its affiliated parties for
and to Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades," the letter states.      The
letter was sent under taking of evidence abroad guidelines
established by the 1970 Hague Convention.      Klieman was
ambushed and killed while traveling to her job as a special-
needs kindergarten teacher. Rimawi was convicted after allegedly
telling police that he committed the murder as a member of a
terrorist group called Al-A
