Barak receives death threat

Defense Minister Ehud Barak has received a death threat, apparently from far-rightists who oppose his involvement in implementing the 10-month freeze in West bank settlement construction, Channel 10 news reported on Tuesday.

"If you think of destroying the settlements, you are mistaken, and I will kill you," read part of the letter, which has been transferred to the Shin Bet Security Service for investigation, according to Channel 10.

"I will harm you or your children, be careful," the letter continued. "If not now, then when you are no longer a minister and have no security around you."
