"World condemns Israel's action"

Israel's assassination of yet another Palestinian spokesman has caused consternation and condemnation from around the world.

In a public statement released on Sunday, European Union foreign affairs chief Javier Solana said he was at a complete loss as to the benefit of the assassination and was unable to see any positive outcome.

"Actions of this type are not only unlawful, they cannot be conducive to lowering tension."

UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said that "extrajudicial killings are violations of international law" and called on Tel Aviv to immediately end the illegal practice.
