A statement

The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas mourns the death of the Palestinian scientist Fadi al-Batsh, who was assassinated on his way to perform the dawn prayer in a mosque in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Saturday 17 April.  

 Al-Batsh, who is originally from Jabalia refugee camp north of the Gaza Strip, was known for his scientific innovation as he has attended many international conferences on energy in Japan, UK and Finland. He was planned to chair another conference on energy in Turkey.

He contributed in up to 17 per cent of developing the Malaysian energy sector as he invented and developed several technical sets and minerals used in generating electricity.
