A senior European Union diplomat stated Sunday evening that Israel's alleged involvement in the elimination of senior Hamas terrorist Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh "will be harmful for the way Israel is treated by the EU."Speaking at a gathering of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, the unnamed diplomat cited the killers' alleged employ of forged passports from Britain, France, Germany and Ireland.

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman is planned to meet with senior EU officials and a number of the foreign ministers throughout the course of the week. The passport question will be added to the agenda of his meeting with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband
