The Intrigue of the Assassination of Hamas Leader In Dubai Intensifies

You know, I've had more than a few chuckles over watching the officials in Dubai and across Arab nations scrambling and sifting and scratching their heads over just how Hamas scumbag, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, was assassinated in Dubai. The Dubai "intelligence" has the assassins on film, they have passport info and they STILL haven't a clue who these people were...turns out that the passports were real but they weren't the people who hold the passports - HAHAHAHA!

This article from Times Online is chock full of many of the intrigue, twists and turns that are now surfacing including this:

Peter Elvinger was the last of the assassination team to arrive in Dubai and took a plane out of the city at around 19.30 on January 19, about an hour before the murder took place.

In CCTV footage of the victim and suspects released by Dubai police, Al-Mabhouh is shown being tracked by his assassins throughout the day of the murder, who donned an array of disguises, including fake beards and wigs.
Surveillance teams rotated in pairs waiting for Al-Mabhouh’s arrival at the luxury Al Bustan Rotana hotel near Dubai airport.
Al-Mabhouh checked into his hotel at 15.25 on January 19. As he entered the lift to go up to his room, he was joined by two members of the team carrying tennis rackets and dressed in sports gear. They followed him to establish his room number before another member of the team checked into the room across the corridor.
Five hours later Al-Mabhouh was dead. Dubai police maintain he was suffocated, though Hamas has said he was electrocuted and other reports have claimed he was poisoned. Four men are believed to have carried out the killing, with a further five planning the operation and keeping watch.

I feel the need to explain two things in all of this:

1. The killers of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh will NEVER, EVER be found

2. Another Hamas leader/key operative will face this same fate within one year

Officials in Dubai are in so far over their heads right now they don't know which end is up and believe me, there are key intelligence people in dozens of Arab states right now who are just shaking their heads because they know they are powerless against the force behind this act of vengeance....and they know they are powerless against it happening again and again.

And again.

French passport-holder was mastermind of 'Mossad assassination' in Dubai

A French passport-holder has been identified as the mastermind of the assassination of a senior Hamas official in Dubai last month.
Police in the Gulf state today launched an international manhunt for 11 suspects in the murder of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in his hotel room on January 19, including six men carrying British passports.
International arrest warrants have been issued after the Dubai authorities released names, photos and passport details of the 10 men and one woman wanted in connection with the murder of last month.

Issam al-Humaidan, Dubai’s Attorney General, announced this afternoon that the emirate’s public prosecutor would seek extradition of the suspects to the United Arab Emirates once they are arrested. Details of the local investigation and the suspects’s identities have now been passed to Interpol.
Hamas has directly accused Israel’s spy agency Mossad of carrying out the killing. Dubai police said last night that Israeli involvement has not been ruled out, despite the stated nationality of the 11 suspects in their passports.
Dubai police have named Paul Keeley, Stephen Hodes, Melvyn Mildiner, Jonathon Graha, James Clarke and Michael Barney as the British passport holders suspected of involvement in the murder. A further three suspects were carrying Irish passports, with the other two entered Dubai with French and German passports.
British authorities are investigating whether the passports could be the work of identity thieves.
A British-Israeli called Melvin Adam Milivner contacted in Israel today said he was not the man named by Dubai police. The picture of Mr. Milivner issued by the Dubai police did not match pictures posted by him on his Facebook and Twitter accounts.
“I am obviously angry, upset and scared -- any number of things,” he said. “And I’m looking into what I can do to try to sort things out and clear my name. I don’t know how this happened or who chose my name or why, but hopefully we’ll find out soon.”
A Mossad agent involved in the bungled assassination attempt of the Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal stole the identity of a Canadian living in Israel to obtain a Canadian passport.
