"Israel's prison director says he will forbid the killer of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to marry in prison, after reports of his wedding plans stirred a national uproar.

Rabin's daughter, Dalia Rabin-Pelosoff, was hospitalised with an irregular heartbeat after hearing Israel media reports that Yigal Amir was planning to marry an ultra-Orthodox divorcee in the spring, a family friend said on Army Radio.

Amir is serving a life sentence for shooting Rabin as he left a peace rally in November 1995. Amir, an ultra-nationalist, believed Rabin, who led a centre-left government, had betrayed Israel by concluding interim peace deals with the Palestinians."

"Israeli media said Amir began exchanging letters and speaking by phone a year ago with the woman he wants to marry and that she had been granted rare rights to visit him in an isolation block."
