Australia calls in Israeli ambassador

Australia's government has called in Israeli Ambassador to Canberra Yuval Rotem after the naming of three Australians as suspects in the assassination of Senior Hamas figure Mahmoud al-Mabhouh at a Dubai hotel, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said on Thursday.

"We will not be silent on this matter. It is a matter of deep concern. It really goes to the integrity and fabric of the use of state documents, which passports are, for other purposes," Rudd told Australian radio. (Reuters)
