At least 10 Israelis share names of new Dubai hit squad suspects

Video: Dubai releases footage showing 15 additional suspects police believe involved in Mabhouh killing.

By News Agencies and Chaim Levinson Haaretz Service Tags: Hamas Israel news

Dubai has identified 15 new suspects in the assassination last month of a Hamas official, and 10 of those suspects share the names of Israelis who hold dual citizenship, Haaretz has learned.

Dubai police said Wednesday the total number of people believed involved in the death stands at 26.

Hamas military commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was killed last month in his hotel room in what Dubai police have said they are near certain was a hit by Israel's Mossad spy agency. Police said the killers travelled to the Gulf Arab emirate using European passports.

Dubai authorities had earlier named 11 suspects, who they said travelled on fraudulent British, Irish, French and German passports to kill Mabhouh. Six were Britons living in Israel who deny involvement and say their identities were stolen.

"Dubai investigators are not ruling out the possibility of involvement of other people in the murder," the statement said.

The suspected killers' use of passports from countries including Britain and France has drawn criticism from the European Union that diplomats said was aimed at Israel. Some of governments involved have summoned their Israeli ambassadors.

"Friendly nations who have been assisting in this investigation have indicated to the police in Dubai that the passports were issued in an illegal and fraudulent manner," the Dubai government statement said.

It said that pictures on the passports did not correspond to their original owners.

In a statement on Monday that European diplomats said was intended as a rebuke to Israel, EU foreign ministers said that the assassination was "profoundly disturbing."

Israel has not denied or confirmed it played any role but Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said there was nothing to link it to the killing. The United States, Israel's main ally, has kept silent about the affair.

The new suspects were identified as: Daniel Marc Schnur, Gabriella Barney, Roy Allan Cannon, Stephen Keith Drake, Mark Sklur and Philip Carr, traveling on British passports; Ivy Brinton, Anna Shauna Clasby and Chester Halvey, on Irish passports; David Bernard LaPierre, Melenie Heard and Eric Rassineux, on French passports, and Bruce Joshua Daniel, Nicole Sandra McCabe and Adam Korman on Australian passports.

An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokeswoman in London on Wednesday said, "We will seek to make contact with these individuals and offer consular assistance as we have the previous individuals."

Dubai police said the suspects arrived from cities including Zurich, Paris, Rome, Milan and Hong Kong.

"This was to take the camouflage and deception to its utmost level and to guarantee the avoidance of any security supervision or observation of their movements," the statement said.

Once their part in the operation was completed, the suspects again dispersed to different parts of the world, with two suspects leaving Dubai by boat for Iran, it said.

Dubai police also released credit card details of some of the suspects. At least 13 credit cards used to book hotel rooms and pay for air travel were issued by the same small U.S. bank.

Two Palestinians suspected of providing logistical support were in detention and Dubai's police chief has said he believes the operation could not have been carried out without information from inside Hamas on Mabhouh's travel details.

An official from the movement was quoted as saying last week that Hamas had launched an investigation to try to discover "how the Mossad was able to carry out the operation.

Mabhouh's killing was the third high profile murder in less than two years in trade and tourism hub Dubai, one of seven emirates in the UAE federation, where violent crime is rare.

    what about Fatah exacting a toll on Hamas by stealing Israeli identities.impossible??? passports get stolen all the time by liqourice allsorts so their own brothers could have done the job and what would have provided an ample opportunity other than they having access to Israeli identities to frame Israel talk about killing two birds with one stone.

    Actually, Hamas is in trouble if you trace what is "known" in Dubai about some of the assassins. The other implication is that the Hamas' agents had a relationship with Israel and may have acted on that basis?? If any of that is true, things are not what they seem.

    it doesn't really matter what you, the media or frankly the Israeli government believes. If these pictures show employees/contractors of Mossad or any other intelligence services it's safe to say they are no longer operational. The objective of Dubai is not to blame Israel necessarily, although Israeli intelligence people high fiving each other in public doesn't help there, the objective is to ruin whatever Intelligence outfit was responsible. If it's not Israel then nothing to worry about.

    One of the more compelling initial questions
    • Mark Lincoln
    • 24.02.10
    • 22:18

    One of the first questions in my mind was the large number of people exposed to identification in this hit. Why so many? I suspect the answer was an attempt to mitigate the presence of near universal CCTV coverage by using multiple people for each public task. The problem is that in the last decade powerful software has been developed allowing whole sports stadiums full of people to be searched for individual faces. The police in Dubai have been most methodical in their use of MANY CCTV recordings and identification software to build their case. They have also been receiving great cooperation from those nations who's citizen's identities and passports were compromised. For an inkling of what can be done there is a primer at http://scienceandresearch.homeoffice.gov.uk/hosdb/publications/cctv-publications/SIO_strategy_2-Nov-07_v1.032e5.html?view=Standard&pubID=575286

    • Paul Freedman
    • 24.02.10
    • 22:14

    Let's be real. Israel's intelligence networks routinely collected identity information on dual-nationals in the past. That does not mean however that these individuals a) represent the totality of Mossad's assets or b) that, inasmuch as these identities are precisely *false* , participants can't be recirculated in other operations. Perhaps in those operations they can avoid being unwitting participants in Candid Camera.

    why this arms smuggler welcomed in Dubai? why was he there? why the first thing the Dubai police said we dont have any concrete evidence yet but we think its mossad? if the pictures didnt correspond to real french brit and australians owners names how do they know that ''At least 10 Israelis share names of new Dubai hit squad suspects''??? why did mossad left that much evidence and why use of friendly governments citizens? Just to piss of those friendly gov? Why cant they be other countries assassins? since here what proof do they have about involvement of mossad except for paranoid videos shoving people entering the country ang goin to hotel. only clear evidence is that''At least 13 credit cards used to book hotel rooms and pay for air travel were issued by the same small U.S. bank.'' and doesnt point out to israel at all again why couldnt it be CIA or others??

    I don't believe Israel had anything to do with this killing. It sort of reminds me of Saddam's WMD's that he wanted everyone to belive he had but actually had none. Israel likes the fact that it is being blamed for the fear factor to other terrorists but actually didn't do it. The boat to Iran really is a dead give-away. This is an inter-Arab murder if ever there was one.

    During Operation Wrath of God, the Mossad's death squad unit, Caesarea/Kidon, assassinated between 20 and 33 Palestinians who they claimed perpetrated the Munich Massacre. Twenty years later, the chief of the Mossad at the time, Zvi Zamir, admitted that only one of those assassinated had actually had anything to do with Munich. The goal of the operation was to increase the price any Palestinian would pay for joining the Palestinian resistance. Munich was a pretext. The definitive book on the Mossad's terror campaign, Striking Back, concludes that any PLO operative wandering unprotected around the Europe was as good as a genuine terrorist for that purpose. The same is true about Hamas today. FYI, the mastermind of Munich, Mohammed Abu Daoud, returned home to Ramallah after Oslo and lives there now in retirement. All three Black September terrorists who survived the shootout in Munich are alive and well today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wrath_of_God

    it needs to show some sense of responsibility. the way to do it is to implicate as many folks as possible with as much video as possible to show that they are a video camera saturated locale to discourage further spies from taking future action. is it impressive. of course. but it must be noted that, if this is mossad, or any other professional spy agency, they knew exactly where the cameras are located and how to sing and dance for them. this is not surprise to them. also the whole issue of stolen identities. the fact that so many are from israel doesn't prove or disprove israel's culpability any more than dimona's existence proves that israel has nukes. hahaha. anyway the dog and pony youtube show is just that. its not showing anybody anything they didn't know or suspect. they're not showing anything that the mossad didn't know would be shown.

    I see the British Sunday times reports that Mossad carried out this murder with Nethanyu's knowledge. I see Ms Livni thinks it was a good idea,as does a top Israeli general, because it will strike fear into "terrorists"everywhere. And I note that Australian passports have also been comprimised. So lets assess the situation. It seems more & more likely that Israel is culpable and has now successfully alienatedthe entire Europeans union on which it relies for trade and whose co-operation it needs. Add now to that the likely hostile Australian reaction. Offending TWO contenients at the same time takes some doing. If it wasn't for the fact that a man was murdered, the whole debacle would be laughable. Marked by incredible stupidity, poor planning and incompetence it makes the supposedly "dreaded" Mossad look like fools. IF Israel did this, then they have scored the best own goal ever. Undermined important relationships and undermined their security services well done-stupid or what?

Israel went too far this time, Western governments cannot allow their passports to be used in a manner which endangers their citizens travelling abroad. You have to wonder if Mossad is full of Iranian double agents because this fiasco helps Iran the most.

    Don't you just wish the lads in Dubai were this keen and dedicated to catch their good-all-home-grown-terrorists as well?... and put some manners on them instead of encouraging them to run around the globe with a sword in one hand and kalashnyikov in the other.

    And Iran welcomed to their shores members of Mossad sailing in on a dingy? Are Mossad & Iranian intelligence working together? Or perhaps Mossad is going to Iran for its next mission? Or they simply were citizens of Iran having absolutely nothing to do with the death of the hamas terrorist? Can't imagine Mossad would send so many people to a hostile country just to kill one man. Does Dubai knows what they are doing? Wasn't it a week before they even ascertained that he had been murdered? Poisoned? Electrocuted? Strangled? Isn't that a bit over-kill for professional Mossad agents? How come the only ones arrested so far are arabs? Were they all working with Mossad? How likely is that? Dubai police would give keystone cops a bad name.

    I don't have the slighest doubt that Mossad is behing this killing - which I can only reject as anyone, even the worst person, is entitled to afar trial - but I'm beginning to wonder whether the agency had to rent a whole hotel n Dubai to fit all these agents? Each day we're told there are more!

    The 2 eoples who left by boat to iran give us the key to all the middle east problem. Israel and Iran are playing with all the world the situation is very simple now as we can easily deduct. 1-apparent great tension between Iran and Israel. 2-Secret missions to Iran through the Neturey Karta, supposedly anti-israelis. 3- when arisk of dicovery appeared, the israeli agents fled to the closest secret: ally-Iran 4-now these agents are in teheran planning the next operation. N.B.: They needed this many people so as to assure a minian for each and every operand's prayer where ever he might have been at the time.

    But it isn't. Dubai has effectively dismantled the entire mossad network. Nice job Mossad! Now every other country that experienced identity theft will seek out the Mossad operatives in their respective countries. It's almost laughable that Mossad spent tens of years building an extensive network only to see it unravel over the extreme incompetence of Meir Dagan. Mossad is no longer to be feared.

    Visiting a factory in Scotland last year, I noticed about 10 workers carrying a seemingly heavy sheet of metal . "How much it weights ?" I inquired "Oh ,50-60 pounds " was the answer. "And how often do you move such a sheet ? " I inquired ,thinking those 3 kg /person could be much strain on ones back when performed often enough. " Oh ,2-3 times a day " was the answer.

    This looks like a significant rollup of the Mossad network by the UAE aside from the passport fraud and the identity theft. It looks like they are rolling up the network, not only in Dubai, but in Britain, Ireland, France and Australia. Ouch.

    All to kill one guy ? Meanwhile there is still no definative proof that Mossad was responsible. I gotta believe at this point that it was another group and it is time the Dubai police look elsewhere. Then if nothing shows up ...blame Mossad by the process of elimination. It still will not prove anything but at least they have to try to get to the truth by looking at other players in the region.

    Ok, now it is beginning to be clear that the entire dubai investigation is absolutely not credible. this is just starting to get rediculous, if not outright hilarious. tomorrow they will announce another 20 and after tomorrow they will announce another 124 suspects and then they will also put into the equation secret links with Equatorial Guinea and the Gambia and suspect citizens of the Maldives and the Kiribati Atoll, who had a secret sexual relation with an Afghan female agent, who actually lives in Kazakhstan. What's next???
