Hamas: Assassinated commander made himself vulnerable

A Hamas legislator says its official who was assassinated during a visit to Dubai, made himself vulnerable by booking his trip on the Internet.

Speaking in Gaza City, the legislator suggested that the victim, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, took a risk by informing his Gaza family by telephone where he would be staying.

Salah Bardawil, Hamas Legislator, said, "Before leaving Damascus, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh had called his brothers and family in Gaza, telling them that he would be in Dubai at a certain time and staying at such-and-such hotel. So the tapping of mobile phones, communication devices, and then the online booking of an airline ticket and hotel reservation - all of these are gateways when everything is controlled by technology, to reach and watch anybody's movements.
