The defense apparatus in the United Arab Emirates arrested 45 suspects, most of them Palestinian and Lebanese, after the plot to blow up Burj Dubai (Dubai Tower) was uncovered. Dubai Tower, currently under construction, is the tallest building in the world.
The current wave of arrests adds to the eight other suspects detained immediately after the plot was revealed one and a half months ago. The detainees were apparently sent as agents of Iran.
Kuwaiti newspaper, al-Jareeda, reported a month and a half ago that UAE security officials arrested "an armed network affiliated with one of the countries in the region that operated on Ras al-Khaimah." Dubai was apparently hesitant to say so explicitly, but the implication was towards Iran as the responsible party for the terror network.
Ras al-Khaimah was is the northern-most emirate in the United Arab Emirates and borders the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf, both of which run parallel to Iran

Not surprising about Iran, or the Syrians for that matter. The UAE has been deporting Palestinians lately...apparently for good reason.

“The detainees were apparently sent as agents of Iran.”
Soon Iran will be able to take that tower out with their brand new nukes.

I am sure glad they got their information without torture. The MSM would tell me if there was torture involved.

SNIPPET: "This is a particularly sensitive report that UAE officials, who are very concerned about Iran, would prefer not be published. According to sources linked to the case, the Iranians have real foothold in the UAE, particularly in Ras al-Khaimah. Iran has cultivated close business relations with Crown Prince Saud bin Saqr al-Qasimi and his close associate, Lebanese Shiite businessman, Massad Khater.According to these sources, this is not merely an innocent business relationship. Khater is a partner in a ceramics factory called Ras al-Khaimah Ceramics. This factory, the sources claim, directly aids Iran's weapons and missiles industry. The factory even has a branch in the Iranian city of Natanz, where parts for Iranian warheads are produced.
Khater is also one of the owners of the pharmaceutical company at which one of the detainees arrested for the Burj Dubai plot works."

Yes, 45 suspects within 45 days. They probably just decided to tell the truth about their comrades because they were promised milk and cookies.

Dubai would probably not be terribly disappointed if someone did blow up their huge empty monuments to financial stupidity.
Heck, they may have to blow them up themselves.
To: nuconvert
Their anger is understandable: this is because of Dubai's continued occupation of the Palestinian land.< / Sarcasm >
The truth is, Palestinians tried to take over Jordan, until the king killed over 10,000 of them. Then they took over Lebanon and destroyed that "Paris of the East." Israel invaded but was prevented from destroying those thugs fully. They have cheered Hussein's invasion of Kuwait. Their mentality is a decease, which shows itself now in Dubai of all places.

The UAE know all they need to know about Pali's. That is why even after Desert Storm they got rid of the vermin as soon as they could deport them.

Yep, and so did the Saudis.
Despite the lip service, Arab leaders don’t care at all about the Palestinians.
