Singapore condemns targeted killings of Hamas leaders, suicide
bombings
By Dominique Loh, Channel NewsAsia
SINGAPORE : Singapore has condemned the targeted killings of Hamas
leaders Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Dr Abdel Aziz Rantissi by
Israel.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said Singapore also condemned
all suicide bombings targeted at civilians because such killings
are contrary to the peace process.
It said such acts perpetuate the cycle of violence and does not
serve the interest of Israel, the Palestinians and the rest of the
world.
Sheikh Ahmed was killed last month, while his successor, Dr Abdel
Aziz Rantissi, was killed in a missile attack in his car on
Saturday.
Hamas has vowed revenge for both leaders, prompting fears of more
deadly retaliation.
Israel has said it reserves the right to target militants and
suicide bombers whom they consider are threats to Israel's
security. - CNA
