Justice Minister David Libai signed the extradition last week, but said its execu- tion would be delayed a month, pending the comple- tion of an appeal to the Supreme Court by Mr. Man- ning's wife, Rochelle, against her extradition. The Supreme Court, in a decision five months ago, al- ready rejected an appeal by Robert Manning against his extradition. The justice minister was given assurances by Ameri- can officials that prosecutors would not seek the death penalty for Robert Manning, according to Justice Min- istry spokeswoman Etty Eshed. If a death sentence were to be imposed by a U.S. court, it would not be carried out, Israel was promised, Ms. Eshed said. The assurances are signifi- cant, since Israel's extradi- tion agreements stipulate they are only valid in cases not involving a death penal- ty. The Mannings are wanted in connection with the kill- ing of Patricia Wilkerson, an employee of a computer firm in Manhattan Beach, Calif. The Mannings were ap- parently in a dispute with the firm. It is believed the bomb had been intended for Ms. Wilkerson's employer. The couple's fingerprints were found on parts of the wrapping of the mail-bomb package. The Mannings are also wanted for questioning in connection with the case of Alex Odeh, a leader of the American Arab Anti- Dis- crimination Committee killed in 1985 in Santa Ana, Calif. Since moving to Israel, the Mannings have lived in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba with their two daughters. The couple were arrested in March 1991, following a U.S. extradition request, but the case has been held up by appeals ever since. The cause of the Mann- ings, now Orthodox Jews, has now been taken up by Orthodox and right-wing circles here in Israel on the grounds that Jews should not be extradited by Israel to stand trial before non- Jewish courts abroad. It is also argued that the religious requirements of the Orthodox may not be ful- ly met in foreign jails. The Israeli Supreme Court is still hearing the appeal of Rochelle Manning, based on grounds that she was al- ready tried in the United States for the Wilkerson slaying. A hung jury in 1989 failed to convict her. Robert Manning was found guilty in absentia, when he was already living in Israel. Rochelle Manning's extradition hearing here is scheduled for July 4. Rabbi Kenneth Cohen, a local clergyman who has been active in the fight to quash extradition orders on the couple, said that another appeal to the Supreme Court would be filed on Robert Manning's behalf. This latest appeal, Rabbi Cohen said, would be on grounds that Robert Mann- ing's religious needs, in- •cluding the provision for kosher food, will not be suffi- ciently met while he is in custody in the United States. Meanwhile, other pro- Manning activists have said that if Rochelle Manning is not extradited, her husband should be allowed to remain in Israel, or else they would never be able to see each other. Rochelle Manning would be free here, but liable for arrest if she entered the United States.
