We will issue a warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest if it turns out Israeli intelligence was behind last month's killing of a Hamas strongman, Army Radio quoted Dubai's police commissioner on Thursday.

Dubai's police chief Dahi Halfan referred to the January 20 assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, who was reportedly responsible for the smuggling of Iranian arms to Gaza.

?Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, will be the first to be wanted for justice as he would have been the one who signed the decision to assassinate [Mahmoud] al Mabhouh in Dubai. We will issue an arrest warrant against him," Halfan told the U.A.E. site The Natioanl.

The Dubai police chief also said that the method used to kill al Mabhouh, was a ?Mossad method,? but did not elaborate further.

On Wednesday, Dubai's police chief warned international intelligence agencies from working "behind our back," saying anyone who did so "should be wary of his own back.

Halfan added that that threat was also applicable "to any intelligence organization around the world, whether Mossad, Hamas or any other agency."

Here's how they say the Hamas leader was taken out: The brother of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, who was killed in Dubai last week, told Haaretz on Friday that he was certain that Israel was behind the assassination, and that Israel had tried before to kill his brother.

Fayek al-Mabhouh said that the medical team that examined his brother determined that the latter had died following a massive electric shock sustained to the head, and also found evidence of strangulation.

Sounds like an accident.

This is the Bibi Ping list.

Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi (R) shakes hands with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu during a special session of the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, in Jerusalem February 3, 2010. Berlusconi, visiting Israel's parliament on Wednesday, appeared to wipe away a tear when Netanyahu recalled how the Italian leader's mother helped a Jewish girl during World War Two.

JERUSALEM - FEBRUARY 02: Visiting Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi (front row 3rd L) and his Israeli counterpart and host Benjamin Netanyahu shake hands as they join ministers from their two governments for a group photo after their joint cabinet meeting at Netanyahu's office on February 2, 2010 in Jerusalem, Israel. Berlusconi is on a three-day state visit to Israel and will also meet Palestinian leaders at the West Bank Palestinian city of Bethlehem.

I notice Bibi's doing red ties this year. He should have vetoed that idea.

Dubai ... of the Dubai Ports Deal Scam.

Thank God conservative Americans let Bush and COngress KNOW where we stood about contracting our port security out to an Islamic State.

They all are our enemies.

If they go after Bibi, there will be a lot of unhappy, dead, former Dubai’ites.

More proof that those who live by the sword die by the sword. More often than not. You can’t be a fast, young, fit, smart guy forever. Soon you’re the old fart in the crosshairs.

The new “Tower” in Dubai will make an excellent target. Their sinking “world Islands” won't be the only Dubai landmark under water... Dubai will become nothing but surf if they continue their belligerence

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gestures as he speaks during the Herzliya Conference in Herzliya, Israel, Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2010. Netanyahu said Wednesday he had reason to believe that long-stalled peace talks with the Palestinians could resume in a matter of weeks.

I was amazed at what a flamewar that started on FR. How could anyone have supported that?!

[GOYAKLA]

It took awhile after Munich but eventually Israel achieved justice! Maybe Hamas and a few other rogues should quit poking sticks at Israel.

“If they go after Bibi, there will be a lot of unhappy, dead, former Dubai’ites.”

From your keyboard to God’s eyes...

[NoRedTape]

Well said.

[NoRedTape]

.......go after him to pin a medal on him, I assume?

The Dubai police chief also said that the method used to kill al Mabhouh, was a "Mossad method," but did not elaborate further.

IOW, mano a mano, clean kill -- as opposed to an Arab method, which often involves retarded adults, systematically shamed women, or children, strapped with bombs. Thanks Cinnamon Girl.

“We will issue a warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrest if it turns out Israeli intelligence was behind last month’s killing of a Hamas strongman, Army Radio quoted Dubai’s police commissioner on Thursday.”

So I guess Bibi’s trip to Dubai is off.
