The Israeli Institute of Forensic Medicine confirmed on Monday a body discovered on the shore of Tel Aviv last week was British suicide bombing suspect Omar Khan Sharif.
Sharif, 27, was thought to have been the accomplice of fellow Briton Asif Hanif, 21, who died after setting off explosives during the attack in Tel Aviv, which killed three Israelis.
Israeli authorities have been hunting Sharif since he vanished from the scene of the bombing on April 30.
According to the Israeli media, two British detectives provided DNA samples, used to identify the body as that of Sharif, a British citizen of Pakistani extraction. The cause of his death was recorded as drowning. (Albawaba.com)
