Wife of Rabin assassin may be pregnant

JERUSALEM, March 12 (UPI) -- The wife of the jailed assassin of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin is reportedly pregnant and expecting the couple's first child.

Friends of the family of Yigal Amir say his wife, Larissa Trimbobler, is in the early months of pregnancy, YNetNews reported.

Family members refused to confirm reports of the pregnancy out of fear that it might prompt attempts on Trimbobler's life.

"Since Yigal and Larissa's conjugal visits were approved, Yigal is a different man, he's very happy," his brother told YNetNews.

Amir, a Jewish radical, was convicted of shooting Rabin in central Tel Aviv in November 1995.
