11 Face Arrest for Assassination of Hamas Commander in Dubai
------------------------------------------------------------



Officials in Dubai say arrest warrants will soon be issued for eleven
Europeans suspected of assassinating a top Hamas commander. Mahmoud
al-Mabhouh was found dead last month in a hotel in Dubai. Police said
the identified suspects include British, Irish, German and French
passport holders, but there has been much speculation that the Israeli
spy agency Mossad was behind the killing. A police statement said the
killers had adopted disguises, including wigs and hats, used an
electronic device to enter al-Mabhouh’s hotel room, and lay in wait for
him. Police in Dubai have not ruled out Israeli involvement in the
killing.
