Hamas Man "Killed" in PA Custody
[BBC] A group of independent Palestinian MPs investigating the death in custody of a Hamas preacher say he was tortured. Majed Barghouti, 42, died in February at a Palestinian Authority intelligence service base in Ramallah. Hassan Khreishe, MP, said, "The intelligence service and its chief [Tawfiq Tirawi] bear the moral and legal responsibility for the death." The MPs viewed Barghouti's body before burial, noting "torture marks" on the legs, back and arms.
