Dubai murder suspects hiding in Israel

DUBAI: Dubai’s police chief said on Monday the suspects in a Hamas chief’s assassination in the emirate are now hiding out in Israel to avoid arrest and urged the Jewish state to wage its wars at home.

Mahmud al-Mabhuh, a founder of the military wing of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, was found dead in his Dubai hotel room on January 20. Police on Sunday said he had been drugged then suffocated.

“I say (the suspects) are in Israel. Israel says they are in Israel,” police chief Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan told a news conference in the United Arab Emirates capital. “If they stay in Israel, they won’t be arrested.”

But “eventually they will leave” and can then be detained, he added, referring to a list of suspects passed on to Interpol. Twelve British, six Irish, four French, three Australian and one German passports were used by 26 named suspects, according to Dubai police, who say they had fled the Gulf emirate on flights to Europe and Asia.

Police say they are convinced the Israeli spy agency Mossad carried out the Cold War-style hit.
