Hamas says man gunned down in Malaysia was important member
Hamas said Paleostinian engineer Fadi al-Batsh was a "loyal" member and a "scientist of Paleostine's youth scholars." It gave no further details on his scientific accomplishments but said he had made "important contributions" and participated in international forums in the field of energy. The funeral service by the Islamic movement's hard boy wing, though, suggested al-Batsh was actually one of its military commanders. At a mourning house in the Gazoo Strip, a banner described al-Batsh as a member of the military wing. Ten masked hard boyz in camouflage uniforms stood in a line outside the tent in Jabaliya, the slain man's hometown, to greet mourners. The ceremony is typical for senior Hamas commanders. Hamas stopped short of blaming Israel, saying only that he had been "assassinated by the hand of treachery." But relatives of al-Batsh said they believe Israel targeted him.
