THE family and colleagues of a fugitive Palestinian freedom fighter blamed Israel yesterday for his suspicious death in Bulgaria.
People’s Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) member Omar Nayef Zayed was found dead in the grounds of the Palestinian embassy in Sofia yesterday morning.
Mr Zayed had taken refuge in the embassy in December after Israel demanded his extradition from Bulgaria, where he had lived since 1994.
