Israel Dismisses Involvement in Killing Hamas Rocket Expert in Malaysia
(BBC News) Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman dismissed suggestions that Israel had assassinated Fadi al-Batsh, 35, a Palestinian Hamas member who was shot dead by two men on a motorbike on a street in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Saturday. Lieberman told Israeli Radio, "We have heard the announcements by the heads of the Hamas taking responsibility for the man, explaining he was involved with the production of rockets, with improving the rockets' accuracy." "We heard about it in the news. There's a tradition at this point among terrorist organizations of blaming Israel for every settling of accounts. A settling of scores among terrorist organizations...is something that we see from time to time. I assume that's also what occurred in this case."
