Published on 29 January 2010 - 11:00am
More about:

Palestinian spokespeople say that Israel has killed one of the king pins of Hamas in Dubai. The 50-year old Mahmoud alMabnouh was shot dead over a week ago a day after arriving in Dubai.

Mabnouh was the founder of the military wing of Hamas, the al-Qassam Brigades. He was responsible for the kidnapping and death of two Israeli soldiers in 1989. Israel has not yet responded to Hamas's claim.
