Five more suspects have been identified in the investigation into the assassination of a Hamas commander in Dubai, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The new suspects bring to 32 the number of people accused by Dubai police of assassinating Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in a hotel room in January. Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency has been blamed for the slaying, in which Mabhouh apparently was suffocated after being drugged.
In March, an investigation by Britain’s Serious and Organized Crime Squad found that the Mossad provided members of an assassination team with forged British passports. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement in Mabhouh’s assassination. — jta
