Interpol Issues Arrest Warrant for Mossad-Dubai 11

First the background:

A Mossad terrorist hit team of 11 men (one of them is in drag) recently went to Dubai under fake British and Irish passports.

This team of 11 men were sent to kill one - just one - Palestinian official in Hamas: Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. Just consider that fact first, that Israel needs to send eleven men to kill one Palestinian. And an unsuspecting Palestinian who is not some James Bond whom would require additional agents to take down.

But it is not just that. After the killed him, it took Dubai police just a few days to identify and issue arrest warrants for all the Israelis. They clumsiness of the operation is incredible. Public videos show the Mossad terrorists wearing obvious disguises and faux, say, tennis wear as a cover. And they clearly trail their target. It is such an amateurish plot. And they used fake passports that the British and Irish governments have now called them out on it. And it was all captured on video:

This was an incredible violation of international law: violating Dubai sovereignty, using fake passports and an Austrian phone line, and, of course, the brutal murder.

And now what Interpol and Dubai is doing about such a heinous crime:

Interpol has issued “red wanted notices” against 11 of the alleged assassins in the January Dubai killing of Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. The 11 are identified through photos from a security camera, but so far they have no names, except the aliases used on their stolen passport data.

This may just be the tip of the iceberg, however, as Dubai police chief Khaifan has said he will also seek a red arrest notice for Mossad chief Meir Dagan, once it is proven that the Israeli spy agency was behind the killing.

I must state that I am most surprised and pleased that Dubai has been on the case, first, by so seamlessly identifying the culprits. This what an Israeli - Ronen Bergman, senior military and intelligence analyst for the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth - has written:

But the real, and so far unappreciated, achievement in this affair belongs to the Dubai police, who were able to integrate all the evidence at their disposal into one clear picture and do so with remarkable speed.

Whoever sent the hit squad to Dubai was not aware that the police and security services had such advanced capabilities at the ready. The investigators managed to put together still and video shots taken in seven different locations and place them on a single timeline together with the cellphone records of the individuals in the footage. Doing this requires sharp analysis and advanced computer skills, and computerized intelligence systems able to cross check information from various sources.

And now by prosecuting the Terrorist 11 and also by not being timid to go after the criminal head of that terrorist organization the Mossad.
