WikiLeaks: U.S. Rejected Request to Help Probe of Assassination in Dubai 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------



Wiki Leaks has released secret U.S. diplomatic cables that show the U.S.
government has refused to help the United Arab Emirates investigate the
assassination of a Hamas military commander in Dubai last January. Dubai
officials have long suspected the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad was
behind the killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. The leaked cables show that
the United States rejected a formal request from UAE government to
provide credit card information about the suspects in the killing. The
suspected assassins were using credit cards issued by the Iowa-based
Meta Bank.
