Dubai’s police chief Khaifan Tamim today announced plans to seek an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later in the week. Netanyahu will face charges of ordering the January assassination of a Hamas commander, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, in a Dubai hotel.
Last month when the investigation began Tamim warned he would seek Netanyahu’s arrest once it was proven that Mossad, Israel’s spy agency, was responsible for the killing. Mossad chief Meir Dagan will also face a warrant.
Since then, an ever growing amount of evidence has been amassed the world over, with Mossad accused of stealing passport data from Israeli citizens and forging overseas passports from a number of nations, including Britain, Ireland, Germany, Italy, and Australia. It is also reported that the suspects, 27 in all, used prepaid MasterCards issued by an American bank on the basis of fraudulent data.
As Dubai police continue to build their case, Tamim has asked the various Western nations involved to turn over the details of their assorted investigations. Several of those nations have summoned Israeli envoys to protest the use of forged passports from their nations in the killing.
Israel has refused to publicly comment on the assassination, insisting it takes an official stance of “ambiguity” on its overseas killings. Nevertheless, with evidence mounting Israeli officials are having a hard time convincing anyone that this whole case is built on the basis of anti-Israel sentiment.
Israel is a rogue state run by Communists – they do NOT act as a responsible nation – Netanyahu will never be prosecuted for murder.
you see communist everywhere,israel is a liberal country run by ultranationalism guys like libermann and nethanyahu,don't be blind
I disagree with AVietnamWar Vet. Fact is that Israel is a rogue state run by criminals plain and simple. Nothing less. They have always thumbed their noses at intenational law, stolen from whomever they wish to steal from and always; but ALWAYS screamed the "anti semitism" whine. And of course our US politicians – forever on the take from AIPAC – always arrange a veto in the UN. Its about time we stand up for what is right and NOT for Israeli interests. Shame on us as well as Israel.
Beaumont TX, you are no doubt correct in your assessment but just where does one take a stand?

Where are you Hal? Maybe it would be the best place to "take a stand'. As for when, try NOW..
MvGuy, I am in Wheeling, WV where I am proud to say that as one who has worked for years with the Jewixh commuhity, I have recently been declared an anti-semite by the local Rabbi for my outspoken pro Palestinian views.
Good luck to the Dubai Police Chief Khaifa Tamim. INTERPOL should be alerted to arrest this war criminal and the international community should be called in to help arrest the scroundel.
First Netanyahu, then Bush and Obama now that the CIA has openly admitted to a policy of assassination of people labeled "terrorist" by nameless government officials presenting no public proof whatsoever, let alone due process.
Maybe the Dubai police chief should be arrested for not protecting terrorist armorers, er I mean citizens of ? whose passport was he using? who stay in luxury hotels. To protect and to serve! Bet that warrant won't get served. The killers even had time to interrogated this guy before they wacked him.
You expect Dubai to know the whereabouts of all Hamas militants? Did the country with the best intelligence resources -i.e. the US- know that al Qaida operatives were in American territory for months before 911?
Uh-Oh…be careful Jamie the Al Qaida operatives you speak of were Mossad and CIA agents , inside job, according to many of the poster on this web site.
But yes if a Hamas militant entered my country I would want my police and security services to know about it. Dubai is not that big.
Sorry knucklehead but Palestinians have a legal and moral right (if not a duty) to resist the genocidal ethnic cleansing being perpetrated against them by the Jewish supremacist madmen. Exercising the right of legitimate self-defense does not make Hamas into "terrorists".
Israel and the United States should be disarmed by the United Nations and sanctions against both countries should be imposed
Libety Lover
No offense but I doubt the UN could disarm itself.
United Nation is also a Zionist tool to protect them, No one can stop this evil. All europe is control by them even people and Govt of wolrd wide are under them if any one dare them will be wipe out. Just see soon Dubai police cheif will submit his resignation either due to threat to him or his family or by the zionist regime saudie.
If we were to pull the Israel tick off the United States butt and drop it and SQUASH it like the tick it is the world and "OUR COUNTRY" would be far better off.
Finally, there's a country with the balls to do what it should. No, it isn't Britain nor France or Germany, let alone the US. It is tiny Dubai. Hopefully, this may represent the tipping point.
Think of all the civilians, Palestinian and Israeli, saved by the assisination of the Hamas terrorist. Rather than firing a bomb at a house in Gaza filled with children that is often a tactic of cowardly Hamas terrorists, the kingpin is "whacked" in the most unexpected of places, where no innocent civilians are in jeopardy. Israeli civilians are spared directly, Palestinians indirectly. I fail to see the problem–where's the outrage of this Hamas terrorist smuggling weapons, where's the outrage at him killing civilians? It seems the outrage is misplaced–misguided by people's blind hatred of Israel and Jews.
To the Dubai police chief, your failure to bring to justice a reknowned terrorist kingpin of a reknowned terrorist organization… do you really have any say in punishing the assisins?
Sure Schmuck, we should admire the courageous IDF which drop 1000lb bombs from several miles above. Or the USAF, which does the same and valiantly annihilates wedding parties in Afghanistan. By the way, the US has to have a huge advantage to dare a bunch of Talibans. Despite all the odds against them, one of those fine warriors must be worth several Marines. And who is to bring justice to all of the war criminals such as Bush, Sharon, Netanyahu, and so on? For your information, there also exists state terrorism, and it's practiced by your heroes in the West.
Too bad we couldn't get the Dubai police chief over here to investigate 9/11 and related events. I bet we'd see a bunch of "people", e.g., Silverstein, make "aliyah" to Israel in a big hurry.
This mission was done without approval from the Dubai government(as usual for Mossad), which is a violation of the sovereignty of Dubai. Anyone notice that the Mainstream Minions are saying that the guy was working with Al-Queda in Yemen. Building up more support for aggression against a country that didn't attack anyone.
In a perfect world, the Netanyahoo and the Director of Mossad would be on Dubai COPS, trying to run away in their pajamas.
Bad Boys, Bad Boys What ya gonna do? What ya do when they come for you?
WAY TO GO DUBAI POLICE!
I hope they hang the bastard.
