Dubai police hunt 'Irish passport holders' over assassination

Dubai police appealed for an international manhunt today after releasing names and photographs of an alleged 11-member hit squad – including three with Irish passports and six with British passports – accused of killing a Hamas commander last month.

Dubai authorities said they would seek assistance from the global police co-ordination agency Interpol and press individual nations to hunt down the suspects in the killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, whose body was found on January 20 in his luxury hotel room.
