Israeli army implicitly admits attack on Rantissi
JERUSALEM (AFP) Jun 10, 2003
The Israeli army implicitly admitted targeting Hamas leader Abdul Aziz al-Rantissi Tuesday in a helicopter strike which wounded the wanted man and killed three other Palestinians.

"Hamas' leadership has taken the strategic decision to scuttle the implementation of the roadmap and destroy any opening for dialogue which might end terrorism and restart political negotiations," the Israeli army said in a statement entitled "Attack against a senior Hamas official."
