EU foreign ministers condemned Monday the misuse of European passports by the killers of a Hamas commander in Dubai, as their Israeli counterpart faced tough questioning in Brussels. "We strongly condemn the use of fraudulent EU member states' passports and credit cards acquired through the theft of EU citizens' identities," the foreign ministers said in a statement drawn up during a meeting in Brussels.
"We are extremely concerned that European passports... can be used in a different manner for a different purpose," Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos, whose country holds the rotating EU presidency, said, according to AFP.
On his part, Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn said Monday the culprits must be punished, stressing that such political assassinations "have no place in the 21st century."
