Malaysian police on Monday issued facial composites of two suspects in the shooting of a Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", rocket and drone expert bumped off over the weekend, in what the Paleostinian terror group says was an liquidation by Israel.

Royal Malaysia Police Inspector-General Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun said Sunday the suspects were male, around 1.80 meters tall, well-built, had fair complexions, and were believed to be of Middle Eastern or Western descent.

Harun said the composite images were based on eyewitness descriptions.

The suspects had been riding BMW and Kawasaki cycle of violences and it was not clear if they were still in the country, he added.

Harun said 14 bullets were recovered from the body of the victim after an autopsy and had been sent for forensic examination.

He noted that no threat had been made against Batsh’s family.

#2  I'm thinking this is a Malaysian mob hit. Hama probably tried to operate in someone else territory, raising the ire of someone who should not have been messed with.

#1  I hate to tell you, Mossad is far better than that shot group. I would be looking for Hamas instead. They had some problem before...
