German surgeons have amputated the leg of Palestinian legislator Nabil Amr, who was shot by masked men on the night of July 20th in his Ramallah home, colleagues of the former minister said on Thursday.
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has called off an investigation into the attack and has blamed Israel for shooting Amr.
Following the shooting attack, Amr was taken to a hospital in Jordan and from there to Germany. An operation to save Amr's leg was not successful and doctors were forced to amputate it. (Albawaba.com)
