BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- The daughter of the Palestinian ambassador to Czech Republic who died in Prague Wednesday said an explosive device in his house was planted to assassinate him.

"The information about a safety device detonating in his safe is untrue," Jamal al-Jamal's daughter said.

"The safe has been used daily for 30 years in the headquarters of the Palestinian embassy. It is old, not modern, and has no (hi-tech) devices," Rana al-Jamal said.

She added that her father had used the safe without being harmed before heading to Egypt two months ago, a period in which the safe was used by other employees in the embassy.

The plot thickens (as predicted).

1. Its horrible situation but

um of course he was assassinated. Bombs don't just appear accidentally in someones house, unless someone was trying to kill him.

2. No foul play suspected in explosion that killed Palestinian ambassador

All initial reports said that foul play was not suspected.

3. The initial reports also give a rather different set of facts.

Startling different, in fact.
