Hamas Seeks to Carry Out Executions without Abbas' Approval
[Xinhua-China] Hamas is seeking a legal opinion allowing it to carry out the death penalty in Gaza without the need of PA leader Mahmoud Abbas' approval, Hamas spokesman Taher al-Noono said Monday. "A number of death verdicts have accumulated against some collaborators with the Zionist occupation," al-Noono said. "If the committee [studying the question] approved the executions, we would implement its decision," he added.
