Lieberman on Abu Ein autopsy: Proof Abbas trying to incite Palestinian public

"This is proof that the claims that Abu Mazen and the heads of the Palestinian Authority rushed to hurl at Israel were false claims with no basis that were meant to incite the Palestinian public," said Foreign Minister Avigdor in response to the results of the autopsy on Palestinian minister Ziad Abu Ein who died after an altercation with Israeli security forces at a protest in the West Bank on Wednesday.

 

Hussein al-Sheikh, a top Palestinian official, told Reuters that Jordanian and Palestinian doctors involved in the late night examination of the body said Ziad Abu Ein, 55, had died from being struck, inhaling tear gas and not receiving prompt medical attention.

 

But an Israeli medical source familiar with the autopsy results told Reuters the minister died from a heart attack which may have been brought on by the stress of being grabbed by the neck.
