| Hamas defends Fatah over Mabhouh assassination charges |
| 2010-02-20 |
| Gaza – Ma'an – The Israeli intelligence agency Mossad is entirely responsible for the assassination of Hamas Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh in Dubai last month, party officials announced Saturday. It's always Mossad! Well...almost always. Well...usually. All right! We really don't know! During a news conference in Gaza City, Hamas spokesman Salah Al-Bardawil said Israel must suffer the repercussions of the "crime," as news outlets around the world speculate over who was behind the espionage and assassination. Speculation of Fatah, Hamas, Iranian and Israeli involvement have already circulated. He was a..."popular guy". Al-Bardawil said that while members of the alleged Israeli hit-squad, traveling on European passports, were reportedly affiliated to Fatah, "the fact that members of the PA security services were involved, is not proof enough to directly accuse Fatah or the PA of complicity." Sure. That's why we're mentioning it... Though he expressed doubts over PA complicity with the assassination ploy, Al-Bardawil called on Fatah officials “to stop all trivialities in the media.' The Hamas official was clear as to where the blame for the death of Al-Mabhouh lay, saying, “Those who assassinated Arafat, Abu Jihad, and Ahmad Yasin murdered Al-Mabhouh.' Yeah...Arafat. We all know how he was "assassinated"... Al-Bardawil said Al-Mabhouh's pursuers could have learned of his whereabouts from a telephone call he made to his family before leaving for Dubai, informing them of his hotel details and the online booking he made when purchasing airline tickets. Maybe his family set him up? According to Al-Bardawil, Hamas is awaiting the results of investigations. He called on the United Arab Emirates to share the information they uncover, and to use the full weight of the law against the assassins. For European countries whose citizens' passports were used in the operation, he urged governments to call the Mossad to account. As for Hamas, he said the movement followed two paths; the first is a legal path which is used to reveal the killers. The second path is retaliation. “The penalty will be of the same nature as the foul,' he said. |
