Arms smuggler for Hamas obliterated
It actually happened a few days ago in Dubai, and there's more news on this now:
We will have to be prepared of course for their revenge attempts, which we can be sure they'll make. For now, this Mabhouh deserved whatever he got.
JERUSALEM – Days after Hamas accused Israel of electrocuting and poisoning one of its commanders in his Dubai hotel room, Israel claimed Sunday that the dead man played a critical role in smuggling rockets from Iran to Palestinian militants in Gaza.Is the AP trying to side with them? I don't know, but big deal how he was killed. He was a murderer, and got what he asked for.
Though Israel has not acknowledged any role in the killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh on Jan. 20, it was one of several mysterious deaths of Arab militants attributed to Israel's Mossad spy agency over the years.
Relatives and Hamas officials said al-Mabhouh was electrocuted and poisoned, perhaps by having his face smothered with a poison-soaked cloth. Despite surviving what his family says were several earlier attempts on his life, he had traveled without bodyguards to avoid drawing attention.
Hamas, which blamed Israel and has vowed to avenge al-Mabhouh's death, released photos Sunday showing that however he was killed, it was brutal enough to leave bruises and red splotches on his face and nose.
Hamas has been quiet about the reason for al-Mabhouh's travels, though a brother says he was on a mission for the militant group. One senior Hamas figure, Osama Hamdan, denied al-Mabhouh was on a special assignment or that he was planning to head on from Dubai to Iran.And that's why Mabhouh was asking for whatever he got.
Israeli defense officials said al-Mabhouh was key to smuggling Iranian arms to Gaza, in particular, rockets that could fly as far as the metropolis Tel Aviv, some 40 miles (60 kilometers) to the north.
Several rockets fired during the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza last winter hit cities as far as 25 miles (40 kilometers) away.
The officials said al-Mabhouh was also suspected in the kidnapping and killing of two Israeli soldiers in 1989. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing confidential intelligence assessments.
We will have to be prepared of course for their revenge attempts, which we can be sure they'll make. For now, this Mabhouh deserved whatever he got.
