Jerusalem - A Jewish Israeli woman and a Palestinian Muslim who had battled all the way to the Supreme Court over the body of the man they had both wed finally reached agreement over how he should be buried. The two women decided their late husband - a Palestinian who converted to Judaism and then back to Islam - would be laid to rest today in a Muslim cemetery adjacent to a Jewish burial ground in the northern city of Haifa, a justice ministry official said. Both Jewish and Muslim funeral services will be held for the man, the official said.
