Documents cited what it said was a 2005 conversation between Palestinian Interior Minister Nasr Yussef and Israeli Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz, in which they discussed the murder of a prominent activist, Hassan al-Madhoun.
The report by Al Jazeera television quoted Mofaz as Yousef asked: "Why not kill"
"We gave instructions to the Rasheed (Chief Palestinian West Bank security) (Abu Shabak) and we'll see," said Yousef.
Madhoun, the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, a militant group linked to Fatah group of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, was killed in an Israeli missile strike in the Gaza Strip since late 2005, when the Minister Mofaz Holding RE-ordered the murder of targeted militants in the mall after a bomb killed five Israelis.
