| 2010-02-19 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Interpol should issue a warrant to help locate and arrest the head of Israel's spy agency Mossad if the organization was responsible for the killing of a Hamas chief in Dubai, the emirate's police chief said on Thursday, as the Interpol issued arrest notices for 11 suspects wanted by Dubai for the killing. In comments to be aired later on Dubai TV, police chief Dahi Khalfan Tamim called for Interpol to issue "a red notice against the head of Mossad ... as a killer in case Mossad if proved to be behind the crime, which is likely now". The Interpol meanwhile issued arrest notices for 11 suspects wanted by Dubai for the killing of Hamas leader Mahmud al-Mabhuh there. The 11 have been charged by authorities in the United Arab Emirates with coordinating and committing the murder of Mabhouh, it said in a statement. Mabhouh, a commander of the Palestinian armed group Hamas which rules the Gaza Strip, was killed in a hotel room in Dubai on Jan. 19. Officials have said suspects in the killing used fake passports from Britain, France and Ireland. Announcing the issue of the so-called Red Notices Interpol said it "has reason to believe that the suspects linked to this murder have stolen the identities of real people." Red Notices are "to seek the arrest or provisional arrest of wanted persons with a view to extradition," according to the Interpol website. Tamim said he was 99 percent sure the Israeli spy agency Mossad was behind the murder, Emirati newspaper The National reported earlier. "Our investigations reveal that Mossad is involved in the murder of Mabhouh. It is 99 percent, if not 100 percent, that Mossad is standing behind the murder,"Tamim told The National newspaper. Britain, France and Ireland summoned Israeli ambassadors on Thursday over the question of fake passports. |
