Israel Abducts Palestinian Engineer in Ukraine

A court in Israel has charged Dirar Abu Sisi, an engineer from Gaza, with running a training academy for Hamas militants and developing the Islamist group's rockets. The defendant went missing in Ukraine in February, allegedly abducted from a train, and later was confirmed to be held in an Israeli jail. Abu Sisi, the manager at Gaza's main power plant, has accused Israel of kidnapping him "for no reason" from the territory of Ukraine, where he was intending to apply for citizenship (his wife is Ukrainian). Abu Sisi and his family deny any links with Hamas. The Ukrainian government said it was not involved in the operation and was waiting for an official Israeli explanation. http://www.kommersant.ru/doc/1615440 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12957071 http://rt.com/news/mossad-engineer-sisi-palestinian/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3dQPsfmeUQ (video)
