Chairman Shaul Mofaz of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee said Tuesday morning that the elimination of Al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama Bin-Laden indicates that the United States has adopted Israel's strategy of hitting terror leaders.

Interviewed by Kol Yisrael government radio, the former chief of staff called on the Israeli government to increase its elimination of local Arab terror leaders. He added that if terror attempts originating in Gaza continue, Hamas leaders must know that they are targets for elimination and there is undisputed legitimacy for that.
