Hamas: Israeli minister legitimate target

Hamas responded on Friday to the report that its operatives planned to assassinate Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, but neither confirmed nor denied the allegations.

"We have no information about this issue. However, we stress that leaders of the Occupation (Israel) who are responsible for the killing of children and women and for defiling the sacred sites are legitimate targets for the resistance," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said.
