Dubai police chief 'certain' all Hamas hotel murder suspects are in Israel
Dubai police chief Dahi Khalfan (pictured) said on Monday he is sure that all the suspects in the January killing of Hamas leader Mahmud al-Mabhuh are now in Israel. Dubai is convinced the suspects are all members of Israeli secret police Mossad.
AFP - Dubai police chief Dahi Khalfan said on Monday he is sure that all the suspects in the killing of a Hamas leader in a Dubai hotel room are now in Israel, where they will be able to avoid arrest.
Mahmud al-Mabhuh, one of the founders of Hamas' military wing, was found dead in his hotel room in Dubai on January 20. Police on Sunday said he had been drugged then suffocated.
"I am sure that all the suspects are in Israel," Khalfan told a media conference in Abu Dhabi.
"If they stay in Israel, they won't be arrested, but eventually if they leave they will be arrested", the police chief added.
Twelve British, six Irish, four French, one German and three Australian passports were used by the 26 people believed linked to the murder, according to Dubai police, who say they are convinced Israeli intelligence service Mossad carried out the Cold War-style hit.

Even if Mossad created this
Even if Mossad created this event,which i believe they were involved,it still does not mean that all suspects are inside Isreal.
Why are the media outlets and all governments not capable of locating one of the killers based upon anyone communicating their past whereabouts?
What about those 2 palestinians still held in Dubai? What have they discussed?
I bet within a year, some of those killers of the Hamas leader are located,and some will not be from Isreal,and some will be from Isreal.
I bet someone knows something and really has not spoken yet.
Mossad?
Why would the Mossad need 20+ people to kill a single man? None of this makes sense to me. I could see them sending a few guys to do the job, but 20... I cant think of single reason to need so many people for a single job. Also, why would one of the worlds best trained agencys make so many mistakes.... Im not a conspiracy nut, but it seems a little fishy to me.
