Several hundred people gathered at a North Hollywood synagogue this morning to mourn diamond importer Yaakov Aminov, a father of eight children who was gunned down while taking a friend to the airport. Family members say Aminov´s body is to be buried in Israel Monday, as was his wish. Services for 25-year old Victoria Hen, an Israeli-born Chatsworth resident, are scheduled for this afternoon in Mission Hills. Authorities say both victims were gunned down by Hesham Hadayet, an Egyptian immigrant who lived in Irvine. A motive in the case is still unknown.
