‘Netanyahu Authorized Dubai Assassination’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly authorized the assassination of senior Hamas official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh early January in Tel Aviv. 

According to a report published by Times Online Netanyahu held a meeting with Mossad chief Meir Dagan in early January inside the briefing room of the headquarters of the spy agency where “some members of a hit squad” were also present. 

Citing Mossad sources, the report said “as the man who gives final authorization for such operations, Netanyahu was briefed on plans to kill Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.” 

Sources said Mossad had received intelligence that the Hamas commander was planning a Dubai trip and they started preparing for an operation to assassinate him. 

“The team had already rehearsed, using a hotel in Tel Aviv as a training ground without alerting its owners,” according to the report. 

Thanks to Dubai’s extensive system of CCTV cameras, the work of the assassination team was revealed. 

Dubai police released the identities of 11 people carrying European passports, including six Britons, three Irish and two French and German, who allegedly were Mossad agents carrying fake European documents. 

Interpol has issued “red notices” for the 11 suspects to help find and arrest them anywhere in its 188 member countries. 

Dubai police also threatened earlier to arrest Netanyahu, if it determined that Mossad was behind the assassination.
