AMSTERDAM (JTA) — The remains of Alexander Aronson were buried at the cemetery of the Amsterdam Ashkenazic community near Muidberg last week. The Dutch Jew was exe- cuted in Iraq last December as an alleged spy for Israel. Iraqi authorities had re- fused to release his body, notwithstanding an appeal from his mother who visited Baghdad for that purpose last month. But after an un- expected change of mind, the remains were flown to Holland. It was learned that an autopsy performed at the family's request deter- mined that Aronson died by hanging between 4-7 months ago. Aronson, a male nurse who travelled widely minis- tering to the sick and in- jured in undeveloped coun- tries, was arrested by Iraqi soldiers near a Kurdish vil- lage last March 24. He was tried by a military tribunal and sentenced to death as an Israeli agent although he had not been in Israel since the early 1950s. Iraqi authorities denied an Iraqi news agency report in December that Aronson had been executed. But they refused requests by the Dutch government to allow Independent ORCHARD MALL ORCHARD LAKE ROAD NORTH OF MAPLE WEST BLOOMFIELD • 851 - 9444 open Thurs. & Fri. 'til 9 Sat.
