Hamas chief Khalid Mesha'al has denied having information about three Israeli teenagers thought to have been kidnapped by the Islamist movement in the West Bank, in an interview aired Tuesday.

"Frankly, we do not have information about what happened," the exiled head of Hamas' politburo told Doha-based Al Jazeera television.

 

Mesha'al also slammed security coordination between the Palestinian National Authority and Israel as a "disaster," a week after Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas pledged to maintain such coordination.

Since the youths disappeared from a hitchhiking stop in the southern West Bank on June 12, Israel has rounded up hundreds of Palestinians in a bid to find them, while also dealing a crushing blow to Hamas' West Bank network…

 

Abbas vowed during a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Saudi Arabia last week to maintain security coordination with Israel.

"It is in our interest to have security coordination with Israel because that would help protect us," Abbas said at the time.
