Hamas: Assassinated Operative Put Himself at Risk
(AP-Washington Post) Rizek Abdel Jawad - Hamas legislator Salah Bardawil said Saturday in Gaza that Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh unwittingly led his attackers to him by talking about his trip over the phone and making hotel reservations on the Internet. "Al-Mabhouh called his family by phone before he traveled to Dubai and told them of his plan to stay in a specific hotel, and he booked his travel through the Internet. This undoubtedly created a security breach in the movements of al-Mabhouh," Bardawil said. The killing of al-Mabhouh has put Hamas on the defensive over purported security lapses.
