Israel: Arabisk snigmord på Knesset-medlem slår fejl

Det palæstinensiske nyhedsmedie Maan rapporterer, at en terrorgruppe med forbindelser til den "moderate" arabiske-palæstinensiske præsident Abbas har forsøgt at snigmyrde et medlem af det israelske parlament Knesset:

A group linked to al-Fatah tried to kill in early March a member of the Knesset in the centre of Tel Aviv, but the killers murdered by mistake a famous doctor of the Ichilov medical centre, David Niv.

Palestinian news agency Maan attributes the incident to an up-to-now unknown 'Buraq Army', reportedly linked with the al-Aqsa Brigades and al-Fatah. A statement of that group which Maan received specifies that the attack had been prepared for weeks and that the commandos acted at the Aluf Sadeh junction in the centre of Tel Aviv.

The statement did not reveal who was the targeted Knesset member, nor how the error of the mistaken identity occurred.

The killing of Doctor Niv - shot while he was driving his car at the end of the working day - remains a mystery for the Israeli police. One of the investigators told Maariv that the statement released by the Palestinian militants does not seem credible.
