The Beautiful 'Assassin': 'Hit Squad With British Passports Accused Of Executing Senior Hamas Leader [Pics in URL]

15th February 2010

Claims that British and Irish passport holders are among an alleged 11-man hit squad wanted in Dubai for the apparent assassination of a Hamas commander are tonight being investigated by London and Dublin. Dubai police say the main suspect is Peter Elvinger, 49, who holds a French passport. He was the gang’s logistical co-ordinator and the one who booked room 237 in Al Bustan Rotana, down the corridor from the victim’s room – 230. The other suspects were identified as Irish nationals Gail Folliard, Kevin Daveron and Evan Dennings; British nationals Paul John Keely, Stephen Daniel Hodes, Melvyn Adam Mildiner, Jonathan Louis Graham, James Leonard Clarke and Michael Lawrence Barney. Also wanted is Michael Bodenheimer, a German national.

Chief of Dubai Police Dahi Khalfan Tamim speaks during a video presentation showing Peter Elvinger, one of the 11 suspects involved in the recent killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh during a news conference in Dubai The hit squad was responsible for killing Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in his hotel room last month in a slaying that has brought vows of revenge from the Palestinian militant group, Dubai's police chief said. The details given by Lt Gen Dhahi Khalfan Tamim are the most comprehensive accusations by Dubai authorities since the body of al-Mabhouh was found on January 20 in his luxury hotel room near Dubai's international airport.

Hamas detains British journalist in Gaza Strip over 'security crimes' Tamim told reporters the alleged assassination team was made up of six British passport holders, three Irish and one each from France and Germany.

Next we’ll be hearing about the battle in Hamas over whether they should “profile” or “not profile” ~ now that they know they can’t just trust every White Man walking down the hotel corridor.

You know, I thought it probably be an Arab state, not Mossad.

If they’re proven to have used Eire/UK passports that wwill chill European relations further.

I always loved the passage in the Boats of Cherbourg to retreive the bought and paid for attack craft the French had withheld, where the Israeli team are coming through customs into France. That was before they came to lead the field in professionalism for this type of raid and they made a near fatal blunder. Officially, they’re all tourists and separate, but they arrive together at the same entry port. The French customs agent notes that they’re all bronzed, muscled, military hair-cuts and standing like soldiers...even more damning, he notes that all their passports are sequentially numbered.

The leader is freaking because it’s obvious why they’re there as the papers have been full of the French-Israeli bickering, but the Agent smiles, stamps their passport and wishers them well, making it plain that he knows what they’re up to and he symp[athises.

Great scene!

Good luck finding these people, guys. If any of them actually exist (and are not Israelis) I'd be very surprised.

Thanks Steelfish. Bibi needs to excoriate the Arab propaganda sheets and broadcast screed-screechers regarding the rush to judgment about the hit, which was blamed on the Mossad. OTOH (emph added)...

So a senior Terrorist is killed in Dubai, and the Dubai government sides with the Terrorists. Dubai is not a friendly nation.

We should nuke them and take their oil.

You just have to laugh. The surveillance was great but a hired gun getting you face on the news all over the world sucks. It seems that they wanted two things, this guy dead and some information. From the looks of things they got both. The mission was well run and executed but the planning was terrible. The massaud would have taken the recordings with them.

Easy pleasey, Japanesey . IRA types contracted out by Israel. Like my ex boss used to say when he wanted, and expected, a job to be wrapped up quickly... boom-done!

This hit is exquisite. Delicious. Textbook.

Where’s the black and white gif of the crowd applauding?

Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!

Out of 9 or 11 “suspects” somebody is going to get the loose gums disease and go flapping to Interpol inquisitors, once in custody...
