Police in Dubai investigating the killing of a Hamas militant say the suspects are 11 people with European passports.
Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was murdered in his hotel room in Dubai on 20 January.
Dubai's police chief Lt Col Dhafi Khalfan Tamim said the professional hit squad were using six British passports, three Irish, one French and one German passport.
According to a Dubai "source" of The Independent – readers will have to judge what this means – the security forces of the aforesaid emirate informed a "British diplomat" in Dubai (presumably the consul, since the embassy is in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi) of the UK passport details almost six days ago and "did not receive an appropriate reply". If this is true – the Foreign Office will be wrathful in its denials – then why didn't the British immediately express their outrage at the use of forged British passports and cough up details of the equally outrageous frauds a week ago? This misuse puts every British citizen at risk.
The Dubai authorities apparently gave the British the (allegedly) forged Irish passports under the misapprehension that Dublin was still a major city of the United Kingdom. Things, needless to say, changed in Dublin almost a hundred years ago – although how many readers can name the date of Dubai's independence from British rule? – but this elementary mistake suggests that the Dubai version of events (the inexplicable failure of the British to explain their silence) may contain a distressing truth. Don't we (the British? Gordon Brown? etc, etc) care when killers use supposedly British passports?

I saw this on the news last night, very interesting when you see them change into their disguises, looks like something out of a movie. I immediately thought Mossad, but why ere they so lax as to get caught on so many cctv cameras?
