Interpol has joined the Dubai task force investigating the
murder of Hamas official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh and has issued a
further 16 so-called Red Notices to assist in arrests, the global
police body said.
Red Notices allow arrest warrants issued by national police
authorities to be circulated to other countries to facilitate
arrests and help possible extradition.
Interpol said the move brought the number of Red Notices in the
case to 27, highlighting the suspected international links and
scale of the assassination plot, which Dubai police have blamed on
Israel.
Israeli authorities have neither confirmed nor denied any role in
the killing of Mabhouh in Dubai last January.
Officials uncovered evidence of a large team travelling on forged
British, Irish, French, German and Australian passports to carry
out the assassination and make their getaway.
Two groups are believed to have been involved in the operation, a
core party which carried out the killing and a larger group which
provided support and surveillance, Interpol said in a
statement.
It said Dubai police had established clear links between the 27
suspects in the case, based on evidence including passport records,
video surveillance and DNA analysis.
