EU Condemns Use Of Fake Passports In Hamas Assassination
European Union | 22.02.2010
EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels on Monday have strongly condemned the use of fake European passports used in the killing of a Hamas official in Dubai last month.
European Union foreign ministers issued a statement condemning the use of forged EU passports in the killing of a leading Hamas militant in Dubai.
"The EU strongly condemns the fact that those involved in this action used fraudulent EU member states' passports and credit cards acquired through the theft of EU citizens' identities," the declaration issued Monday said.
Although the statement avoided any explicit mention of Israel, Dubai authorities have said they believe Israel's secret service was involved in the killing. Israel has refused to confirm or deny any involvement.
The foreign ministers are to meet with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman later on Monday.
The alleged killers of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh used 11 forged passports from Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Ireland when they entered the United Arab Emirates. Al-Mabhouh was found dead in his Dubai hotel on January 20.
