2 suspected Dubai assassins escaped to US

2 suspected Dubai assassins escaped to US









Mahmoud al-Mabhouh


At least two of the 26 suspects sought for the assassination of a Hamas leader in Dubai reportedly entered the US shortly after the killing.

Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh was killed in a Dubai hotel back in January. Now, the Wall Street Journal says records shared between international investigators show that one of the suspects entered the United States a day later, using an Irish passport.

The second suspect entered the US on a British passport in February.

Dubai police have already identified the two US companies that issued credit cards to the suspects.

The Wall Street Journal quoted a person familiar with the situation that there aren't records of either man leaving the US, though investigators can't be sure the two are still in the country.
