| [IsraelTimes] Wanted men likely still in the country, say cops, who admit they have yet to identify the assassins in hit blamed on Mossad Malaysian police on Wednesday released a photograph of one of two suspects in the killing of a Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, rocket and drone expert, saying they have yet to identify the pair, who may still be in the country. Fadi Mohammad al-Batsh, 35, was killed on Saturday in the country’s capital as he walked to a mosque for dawn prayers, according to Malaysian authorities. His family and the Hamas terror group have blamed the hit on Israel’s Mossad spy agency. Israel has denied the claim. The photograph showed a light-skinned man with dark wavy hair, eyeglasses, and a goatee. "We believe the suspects are still in the country," said National police chief Mohamad Fuzi Harun during a presser at the Royal Malaysia Police headquarters. Earlier in the week, Malaysian police issued facial composites of two suspects in the shooting and described the men as around 1.80 meters tall, well-built, with fair complexions, saying that they were believed to be of Middle Eastern or Western descent. Harun said police did not yet know the nationalities of the suspects, or from where they arrived in Malaysia. "We have yet to identify them, but we suspect that they used a fake identity either when entering the country or when they were here," he said said and noted they were believed to have entered the country some time in January. Harun said the killing was "professionally done" but declined to comment on the suggestion that it was carried out by Israeli agents. |
