UP, here is the video footage with all movements of suspects in the murder of Mabhuh, as per investigation done by the police.

It shows how the suspect criminals disguised themselves with wigs, glasses, tennis rackets and sportive clothing to look like innocent tourists.

عناصر بالسلطة ضمن قتلة المبحوح

قال القائد العام لشرطة دبي ضاحي خلفان تميم إن فلسطينيَيْن مشاركان في عملية اغتيال القيادي في حركة المقاومة الإسلامية (حماس) محمود المبحوح في أحد فنادق دبي الشهر الماضي.

ونقل مراسل الجزيرة في دبي محمود حمدان عن قائد شرطة دبي القول إن الفلسطينيين -اللذين اعتقلا- أحدهما يحمل رتبة عسكرية في السلطة الفلسطينية، وقد التقى زعيم المجموعة التي اغتالت المبحوح وهو فرنسي يدعى بيتر.

وتضم المجموعة 11 شخصا معظمهم من جنسيات أوروبية وبينهم سيدة إيرلندية، وقد دخلوا دبي قبل يوم من تنفيذ عملية الاغتيال.

ولم يستبعد خلفان أن يكون الموساد خلف جريمة الاغتيال، ولكنه لم يستعبد أن تكون هناك جهات أخرى -لم يسمها- متورطة.

Dubai to issue warrants for 11 in Hamas killing

DUBAI

DUBAI (Reuters) - Dubai will issue arrest warrants soon for 11 Europeans suspected of the killing of a senior Hamas official in the Gulf Arab emirate, and does not rule out Israeli involvement, the police chief said on Monday.

The suspects included people from Britain, Ireland, Germany and France, Dubai police chief Dahi Khalfan Tamim told reporters. One is a woman.

A leading suspect, who carried a French passport, had left Dubai for Munich via Qatar after the killing, Tamim added.

"We do not rule out (the Israeli intelligence agency) Mossad, but when we arrest those suspects we will know who masterminded it. (We have not) issued arrest warrants yet, but will do soon," he said.

"Israel carries out a lot of assassinations in many countries, even in countries that it is allied to," Tamim said, adding that Mabhouh may have been killed by electrocution.

Tamim said two Palestinians suspected of providing logistical support in Mabhouh's killing were being held by police. Al Arabiya television said the pair had been handed over by Jordan.

Tamim said the 11 still wanted had rented a hotel room opposite Mabhouh's around the time of his death. All are believed to have left Dubai.

Violent crime is rare in Dubai, part of the UAE and a regional trading and tourism hub.

Like most Arab countries, the UAE has no diplomatic ties with the Jewish state and Israelis are routinely denied entry.
It refused a visa for Israeli tennis player Shahar Peer to take part in a $2 million tournament in Dubai last year, although she was able to enter for this year's championship.

The UAE has hosted Israeli officials. Infrastructure minister Uzi Landau attended a renewable energy conference in the UAE in January, the first visit by an Israeli minister.

(Reporting by Tamara Walid; writing by Cynthia Johnston and Firouz Sedarat; editing by Andrew Roche)military commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was found dead in a Dubai luxury hotel last month, and the Palestinian Islamist militant group has blamed the Jewish state for the killing. Israel has declined to comment.
