Mashal vows to avenge Al-Mabhouh | ||
2010-01-30 | ||
[Ma'an] Hamas leader in exile Khaled Mash'al on Friday vowed to avenge the death of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh, who was killed days earlier in Dubai, allegedly by Israeli forces.
"Don't be so happy. We will avenge Al-Mabhouh. Do not think that we will abandon the choice of resistance. Not settlement, occupation, killing, nor the wall will weaken our resistance." Mash'al added: "We do not know when, but we're going to win; we are confident we will defeat you."
The police added that despite the fact that the apparent assassination was quick and skillful, the suspects left behind evidence that will lead to their eventual capture and arrest. Al-Mabhouh had served as a liaison between Iran and Hamas, according to various reports, helping to smuggle weapons into the Gaza Strip. He had been jailed several times by Israel, whose forces reportedly destroyed his Gaza home at some point. "We in Hamas hold the Zionist enemy responsible for the criminal assassination of our brother, and we pledge to God and to the blood of the martyrs and to our people to continue his path of jihad and martyrdom," read a statement on a Hamas' news site. | ||
