Two Palestinians suspected of collaborating with Israel could provide the first concrete evidence linking Tel Aviv to the assassination of a senior Hamas leader.
The killing has prompted an international row over the theft of identities from European citizens to provide false passports for the assassins during their mission to kill Mahmoud alMabhouh at his Dubai hotel.
Britain, France, Germany and Ireland have all demanded an account of Israels role in the fraud, believed to be the work of the Mossad spy agency. The Dubai operation would be the first time that it had been revealed to have used the foreign passports of Israeli citizens.
A former Mossad agent confirmed to The Times that Israel has on a number of occasions used the European passports of Israelis with dual citizenship of which there are many.
There are times where such passports are useful, of European citizens or elsewhere, he said. We have, in my experience, used the passports of British citizens here.
Israel refuses to confirm or deny its involvement. Israeli officials have also played down fears of a lasting diplomatic rift, noting the absence of solid evidence linking Mossad to the killing.
That could all change if the suspicions of the Dubai police are confirmed: that two Palestinians with alleged links to al-Mabhouh helped to lead the Israeli assassins to their target.

He felt mighty safe there...
What’s the big deal? If Israel did take out this mass murderer, they should get a medal, not condemnation.
At least some country has the balls to kill its enemies, not read them their Miranda rights and give them cable tv in their cells, or ACLU lawyers, or big law firm lawyers (aka shisters).
Ex-Fatah members ‘may have led Mossad assassins to their victim’
Since when, is a senior Hamas leader, a victim? Just saying.
I wish the CIA had the brains and the clearance to pull off an operation like this.
Thanks to “Times Online” for revealing that little tidbit! Those guys are marked men, any others watching who would have thought about turning on Hamas will now run the other way !! Dumbass Brits!!
Marked men yes. They will not go peacefully in their sleep.
Good job Mossad.
I still ain’t buying that this was a Mossad job. It’s too sloppy.
Predator drones seem to work OK. The big boom is a good advertisement to not mess with the US.
Fatah assassins.
Britain, France, Germany and Ireland have all demanded an account of Israel's role in the fraud, believed to be the work of the Mossad spy agency. The Dubai operation would be the first time that it had been revealed to have used the foreign passports of Israeli citizens.The Slimes of London rushed to judgment, and continue to regurgitate the typical Muzzie conspiracy delusions of the Dubai cops, who would belong in an early silent film, except for their total lack of humor. The Mossad must have been behind that elevator failure in the world's tallest terrorist hijacker target as well.
Maybe he was killed by Ziva David.
There are now so many stories on this incident, we will never know the truth.
