Today, Jordanian pathologists will conduct an autopsy on the body of slain Israeli Yitzhak Snir who was shot in Amman on Monday night. Jordanian authorities requested that the body be autopsied, and Israel agreed on condition that Professor Yehuda Hiss, director of the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Israel, be present.
Jordanian police have thus far stated that the murder of the Israeli diamond dealer was criminally motivated; however, Israeli officials believe that it was a terrorist shooting, which targeted Snir because of his ethnicity. Two different groups claimed responsibility for the murder, with one saying that Snir was an Israeli intelligence agent and one saying that he was killed in revenge for Israeli actions against the Palestinians.
