Hamas Commander Killed

The war goes on. 

A Hamas commander who was killed in his Dubai hotel room was drugged and then suffocated, according to results of forensic tests released by police.

Mahmoud al-Mabhouh’s killers used a quick-acting muscle relaxant to help make the death seem “natural”, a senior Dubai police officer said.

Israel’s secret service has been widely blamed for the killing.

However Israel has said there is no evidence it was behind the death on 20 January.

It has accused Mabhouh of smuggling arms into Gaza and killing two Israeli soldiers.

[...]

Israeli officials have refused to either confirm or deny their country’s involvement in the killing but have hailed it.

Trade Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said on Sunday he did not know who had carried it out, but it showed Hamas that “none of their people are untouchable”.

  1. Hi Its so sad to hear about the Hamas Commander. This is very brutal to kill any person. And it is also very brutal to kill someone by pushing injection of muscle relaxant. I am praying for him The God will be good to him.

  4. There was a fascinating video from Dubai detailing the surveillance and assassination of al-Mabhouh.  The Dubai police were able to track the team from start to finish, piece together timelines, and identify the suspects who participated.  Freaky.

  5. The Dubai police must be among the best in the world to have been able to put all those pieces together that quickly.
