Hamas killing: Cold precision and spy caper

DUBAI police have appealed for an international manhunt after releasing names and photos of an alleged 11-member hit squad accused of stalking and killing a Hamas commander last month in a plot that mixed cold precision with spy caper disguises such as fake beards and wigs.

Officials have said they will seek assistance from the global police coordination agency Interpol to hunt down the suspects in the killing of Mahmud al-Mabhouh, whose body was found on January 20.

Dubai’s police chief, Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim, yesterday attempted to create a full storyline of the killing.
