UN envoy condemns Israel's extra-judicial assassinations

The senior United Nations envoy for the Middle East, Terje Roed- Larsen, yesterday condemned Israel's extra-judicial assassination on Sunday of four Palestinians, when helicopter gun-ships fired missiles into a car in Gaza City, reportedly killing a Hamas militant and three Islamic University students. He said in a statement, but no country can resort to these extra-judicial measures.

Roed- Larsen, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, reiterated the world body's consistent and vocal opposition to such assassinations.
