More fake passports a possibility

More fake passports a possibility

The Department of Foreign Affairs has not ruled out the possibility of more fake Irish passports emerging as being involved in the killing, as Dubai authorities yesterday said even more details were set to be revealed.

Dubai has identified 26 suspects in the murder and said they used British, Irish, French and Australian passports. Six of the assassins involved in the killing of Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh used forged Irish passports. However, Dubai police told local media yesterday that one more identity was set to be added to the list of suspects, which would bring to 27 the number of those involved.
