DUBAI, United Arab Emirates Dubai's police chief said Monday an 11-member hit squad with European passports was responsible for the mysterious killing of a Hamas commander in his hotel room last month and released their photos, names, nationalities and passport numbers.
Lt. Gen. Dhahi Khalfan Tamim did not directly implicate Israel, as the Islamic militant group has. But the details he released at a news conference in the Gulf emirate are the most comprehensive accusations by Dubai authorities since the body of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was found Jan. 20 in his luxury hotel room near Dubai's international airport.
Tamim told reporters the alleged assassination team comprised six British passport holders, three Irish and one each from France and Germany. Hamas has accused Israel's Mossad secret service of carrying out the killing and has pledged to strike back.
