(MENAFN) On Sunday, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman dismissed Hamas's statements that Israel's Mossad spy agency assassinated a Palestinian scientist in Malaysia.
Fadi Mohammad al-Batsh, an engineering lecturer, was gunned down by two men on a motorcycle in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, the local police said.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh suggested that Israel was behind the killing, saying the Mossad had perpetrated past attempts to assassinate Palestinian engineers, and the killing of Batsh "follows this sequence."
"We heard about it in the news. The terrorist organizations blame every assassination on Israel; we're used to that," Lieberman told Israel Radio.
