" Dov Dribben, z"tl, H"yd, twenty-eight year old son of Hebron veteran Eddie Dribben, was ambushed by eight Arabs as he was working alone, building his new home in the Judean desert near the Jewish community of Maon. Dov was a tall, strong man. He was married and the father of four little boys. He had been threatened by local Arabs in the past, but never backed down to them. His father had been a Texas ranger and taught his son how to fight, to ride a horse and use a gun. No one in his right mind would mess with Dov, or his father, Eddie.
When the Arabs saw Dov working all alone, they decided toattack. Dov was powerful and fearless, but not really prepared for sucha brazen daylight attack. All eight Arabs came at him. He got off one shot with his pistol, wounding one of his attackers before they were able to knock him to the ground. His gun fell from his hand and one of the Arabs picked it up and shot Dov mortally in the head. Two of his friends tried to come to his rescue, but both were shot before the Arabs ran away. One is still recovering in the hospital, and the other only suffered light wounds."
"President Bill Clinton and U.S.Ambassador Martin Indyk: During a March 14, 1996 visit to the grave of one of the victims, Nachshon Wachsman, President Clinton announced that America would make it a “top priority” to capture Mohammed Dief, a primary suspect in the murder. (Jerusalem Post, July 9, 1998) The U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, wrote to the Wachsman family on March 26, 1997 that “the arrest of Muhammed Dief…remains a high priority for the U.S. Government.” President Clinton repeated this pledge to American Jewish leaders, again mentioning Dief by name, in August 2000. (Ha’aretz, Aug.25, 2000) Dief’s photograph was even published in the Washington Post on December 8, 2000."
