Israel remained curiously quiet over reports a cell of Mossad agents was arrested in an unnamed Arab country, the Jerusalem Post said Thursday.
The agents were held for conspiring to assassinate Hamas leaders, including the group's general secretary abroad, Khaled Mashal, the newspaper said.
Hamas politburo member Mohammed Nazzal said the security services of an Arab country foiled the plot several weeks ago, but declined to name the country or say who was targeted. He said more than one person had been on the hit lis,t (sic) and the cell members captured included Arab and foreign nationals but not Israelis.
