Columnist takes the minority view

YOUR columnist Steven King (March 3) must be one of the few people in the world who doubts Israel’s responsibility for the extrajudicial killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai.

It is true the Israeli state has not claimed responsibility for the murder, but Moshe Feiglin, a leading member of the ruling Likud party, has confirmed Mossad was responsible.

He criticised the decision to carry out the assassination, saying “somebody in the Mossad and the echelon that authorised the Mabhouh mission is still living in the 1980s”.
