Assassins of Hamas Official Caught on Tape, Dubai Says
As my colleague Robert Worth reported, Dubai’s police chief said on Monday that an 11-person team of trained killers with European passports carried out the mysterious assassination of a senior Hamas official last month in a Dubai hotel. In addition to releasing the names and photographs of the 11 suspects, the chief, Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan al-Tamim, told reporters that security camera video obtained by his investigators showed the team at work in Dubai in the hours leading up to the assassination in a luxury hotel last month.
On Tuesday, a newspaper Web site in Dubai published the video released by the authorities, which appears to show the suspects following the Hamas official, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh; changing into disguises; and spending a lot of time on the second floor of the hotel where the murder took place. The video, embedded below, was edited by the Dubai police and includes titles that explain their interpretation of the movements of the 11 suspects before, during and after the assassination.
There's a lot more info at the source. If you have the time you should REALLY watch the video (it's about a half hour long). It's fascinating stuff, like something out of the Bourne movies.
