Interpol puts 11 Hamas Slaying Suspects on wanted list

Interpol has issued red notices against 11 members of an alleged hit squad suspected of assassinating a senior Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh at a Dubai hotel last month. The red notices were issued yesterday on the request of Dubai authorities. Interpol said it had reason to believe the suspects had stolen the identities of real people to commit the murder. Earlier Dubai's police Chief Dahi Khalfan Tamim said, he believed Israeli agents, using British, French, German and Irish passports, were behind the killing on January 19 and added that the passports used by the assassins were not fake.Earlier Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that there is no proof that Israel's spy agency Mossad was behind the assassination of the Hamas commander. He also said that Israel maintains a "policy of ambiguity" on intelligence matters.The UK and Irish Republic governments summoned their Israeli ambassadors to meetings yesterday over the use of fake passports by the killers.
