Police source: Israeli defense official missing in Paris
By Reuters and Haaretz Service

The head of the Israeli Defense Ministry Mission to Europe has disappeared from his Paris house, leaving behind notes that indicate he might have been considering suicide, a local police source said on Tuesday.

The man, named as David Dahan, has not been seen since the weekend, the source said.

"The possibility of suicide has not been ruled out given the psychological state of the person in recent times and notes he left behind," the source said, declining to be named.

According to Army Radio, Dahan left a suicide note behind in his apartment.

The doorman in his building said Dahan left his apartment at midnight on Sunday and has not been seen since, Army Radio reported. Paris police forces, accompanied by Dahan's wife, are currently searching for Dahan.

Israel's Foreign Ministry declined comment. The Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv said it would issue any new information on the case after it is received by Dahan's family.
