At least 10 Israelis share names of new Dubai hit squad suspects

The mystery of the stolen identities used in the passport of the alleged killers thickens! Why would Mossad steal the identities of dual-citizenship Israelis, if indeed if was a Mossad hit? Wouldn't that be a risky political move within Israel?

At least 10 Israelis share names of new Dubai hit squad suspects

By Chaim Levinson, Haaretz Correspondent, Haaretz Service and News Agencies

Dubai has identified 15 new suspects in the assassination last month of a Hamas official, and 10 of those suspects share the names of Israelis who hold dual citizenship, Haaretz has learned.

Dubai police said Wednesday the total number of people believed involved in the death stands at 26.

Hamas military commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was killed last month in his hotel room in what Dubai police have said they are near certain was a hit by Israel's Mossad spy agency. Police said the killers travelled to the Gulf Arab emirate using European passports.

Dubai authorities had earlier named 11 suspects, who they said travelled on fraudulent British, Irish, French and German passports to kill Mabhouh. Six were Britons living in Israel who deny involvement and say their identities were stolen.

"Dubai investigators are not ruling out the possibility of involvement of other people in the murder," the statement said.

The suspected killers' use of passports from countries including Britain and France has drawn criticism from the European Union that diplomats said was aimed at Israel. Some of governments involved have summoned their Israeli ambassadors.

2. Australia calls in Israel envoy over forged passports in Dubai hit

"The Canberra government has called in Israel's ambassador after three Australians were named as suspects in the assassination of a Hamas
official at a Dubai hotel last month, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said Thursday.

"We will not be silent on this matter. It is a matter of deep concern. It really goes to the integrity and fabric of the use of state documents, which passports are, for other purposes," Rudd told Australian radio."
