Palestinian Engineer Assassinated in Malaysia; Family Blames Mossad

HeadlineApr 23, 2018

In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a Palestinian man was shot and killed Saturday by two assailants who fired 14 rounds before speeding away on a motorcycle. The victim, 35-year-old Fadi al-Batsh, was a senior lecturer at the University of Kuala Lumpur who specialized in engineering and who’d been living in Malaysia for the past decade. Malaysia’s deputy prime minister said the killers had “European features,” and said they were linked to a foreign intelligence agency. In the Gaza Strip, members of Batsh’s family blamed the Israeli spy agency Mossad for carrying out the killing.
