DUBAI (Reuters) - Dubai's police chief plans to seek the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the head of Israel's spy agency over the killing of a Hamas leader in the emirate, Al Jazeera television reported.
Dahi Khalfan Tamim "said he would ask the Dubai prosecutor to issue arrest warrants for ... Netanyahu and the head of Mossad," the television said. It did not give details.
Tamim has said he is "almost certain" Israeli agents were involved in the killing of Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh at a Dubai hotel in January, calling for Mossad's boss, Meir Dagan, to be arrested if it is proved responsible. Tamim said on Monday Mossad had "insulted" Dubai and Western countries whose fraudulent passports were used by suspects in the assassination.
Dubai has asked the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation to look into prepaid cards issued by the Meta Financial Group's MetaBank which the suspects used, a United Arab Emirates newspaper said.
Citing an FBI source, The National newspaper said the investigation would look into any Israeli involvement in the killing.
"Thirteen of the 27 suspects used prepaid MasterCards issued by MetaBank, a regional American bank, to purchase plane tickets and book hotel rooms," the newspaper said, quoting Dubai police.
MetaBank said it followed proper procedures when it issued the cards.
Authorities told the bank that the suspects appeared to have used stolen passports to get employment with U.S. companies, MetaBank said in a statement Tuesday. The companies paid the employees with prepaid cards issued by MetaBank and other banks.
MetaBank said it had launched its own review of the matter, and had so far found that it followed all bank and regulatory requirements.
The suspects authorities had identified were not on any list that would indicate their identities were fraudulent, it said.

Put a sock in it, Dubai. Your clown-town is falling down around your knees and you get your dander up. You are too big for your britches. Stop harboring thugs and Mossad will leave you alone.
Good luck with that. Perhaps, the Dubai police chief will get a visit from Mossad. Then, the next Dubai police chief will be more...er...realistic.
Knock knock.
Candygram.
...hoping that Dubai sinks faster than a lead balloon.
Yup, all talk.
Send that man a free cell phone.
That entire region (including Saudi Arabia) are some of the largest state sponsors of islamic terrorism; mostly through their inaction towards terrorism.
Kinda funny really. A few years back we were told what fine moderate and tolerant people they were when they wanted to buy American ports.
Their economy takes a hit and they turn into the typical raving islamderthal.
My sister in law is living there with her husband... oh joy!
“You and what army?”
Israel ought to put out a warrant for the arrest of whatever Sultan(?) of Dubai for harboring a terrorist.
What’s good for the goose...
LOL!
Ding a ling?
Ahmad, could you get that?
(*BOOOMMMMM!!!*)
OK if they tape it to a smart bomb and deliver it to him.
No shocker there. Dubai fully supports Hamas and its mission to kill as many Israelis as possible, as they had no problem letting in a known Hamas terrorist into their country on a fake passport.
