World scout body: Controversial Jerusalem troop not a member
None
JERUSALEM (AP) -- The world's main scouting organization says it has no connection to a Palestinian troop in Jerusalem that dedicated a recent training course to one of the killers of an Israeli-American man.
Stephen Peck, spokesman for the World Organization of the Scout Movement, said Sunday that the Jerusalem troop is not a member of his organization's Palestinian affiliate and "has no right to speak or publish on their behalf."
The east Jerusalem troop last month hosted a course dedicated to Baha Alyan -- one of two Palestinian attackers who shot and stabbed passengers on a Jerusalem bus last October.
