RE: More Mystery Over Killing of an Official in Hamas (17 February 2010)

To the Editor:

Throughout the article published on 17 February 2010, there are very few instances that mentioned any sort of stance on the murder itself. Instead, the article focused primarily on the investigations about the passport frauds and the concerns of those U.K. citizens with the same names as those used on the frauds. I would think that assassinating a Hamas leader would take precedence and be the major concern for all involved. Because of the volatile atmosphere associated with the group, any actions would most definitely create reactions from the other side. The relationship between Israel and Dubai was mentioned in the article, but was very vague about what each side thinks about the events. Finding the people who committed the crimes is important, but I think creating diplomatic safety measures (such as appeasement) to make sure that there is no further retribution is also highly important.
