Mossad suspected of liquidating Hobeika Occupied Jerusalem: 24 January, 2002 (IAP News) Palestinian officials have accused the Israeli intelligence, the Mossad, of assassinating former Lebanese Christian official Elie Hobeika in Beirut Thursday morning. Ha'aretz reported this morning that Hobeika, who was a leader of the Israeli-backed militia involved in the 1982 Sabra and Chatila massacre of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, was killed in a blast Thursday, according to reports from Lebanese security sources. The report further stated that at least four other people were also killed, including three of Hobeika's bodyguards, and six were wounded in the explosion, which occurred in the Hazmiyeh district of Beirut as Hobeika was leaving his home. Hobeika has indicated that he possessed "damning evidence" incriminating Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for the Sabra and Shatila massacres of Palestinian refugees in 1982. The Palestinian radio, the voice of Palestine, quoted Palestinian sources on Tuesday as saying that "we have no doubt that the Mossad is responsible." "They simply wanted to and did kill the witness, who happened to be an accomplice as well," the sources said. In addition, a personal representative in southern Lebanon of Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, Sultan Abu al Anian, charged that "Hobeika's assassination was plotted and carried out by the Israelis." Hobeika, 45, led the right-wing Lebanese forces which massacred more than a thousand Palestinian refugees in the two refugee camps south of Beirut. A few months ago, Hobeika said during a BBC documentary on the massacres that the then Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, whose army was in control of Beirut in 1982, was responsible for the massacres. He voiced willingness to testify if called upon in connection with the suit which Palestinian survivors brought against Sharon in Belgium. The Belgian justice system will decide within 45 days if to proceed with the criminal investigation against Sharon. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
