Interpol puts Dubai killing suspects on wanted list

[dipsydoodle]

The international police organisation Interpol has placed on its wanted list 11 people suspected of killing a Hamas commander in Dubai.

Interpol has posted the photographs and names it suspects the individuals fraudulently used in the case.

Dubai's police chief says he is 99% sure Israeli agents were involved in Mahmoud al-Mabhouh's death, but Israel says there is no proof.

Interpol has issued Red Notices for the suspects. Although not an international arrest warrant, a Red Notice requests that the suspects be arrested pending extradition.

THE ARMS DEAL
According to the first scenario, a Mossad hit team found out about a planned arms deal set to go ahead in Dubai, and quickly arranged to take their chance and kill the top Hamas militant before he could buy more weapons to target Israel.
