More Israeli names on new list of Dubai suspects
The names of at least eight new suspects who Dubai police are linking to the slaying of a top Hamas operative match those of people in Israel, further hinting at Israeli involvement in a ******* widely thought to be the work of the Mossad spy agency.
Dubai police released the names of 15 new suspects Wednesday, bringing to 26 the number of people suspected in the ******* of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. In all, at least 15 of the names match those of real people who live in Israel - at least half dual nationals. All of those contacted have said their identities were used without their permission.
Israel has not confirmed or denied involvement in the *******. Israeli security officials say al-Mabhouh was involved in smuggling weapons into the Gaza Strip with Iranian help and was wanted in the deaths of two Israeli soldiers who were captured and ****** in 1989. Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni has praised the ******* as "good news to those fighting terrorism."
