asses !!   (02.18.10)

6. Is the 1% a safety valve?
Ram ,   London   (02.18.10)
Makes me laugh :-). 99% sure :-). You are either sure or you "suspect" in this case. Have you noticed the Jew/Israel bashers attitude in the talkbacks everywhere? Israelis are murderers, assasins, destabilizers of the ME, above the law, desrespectful of other countries for using forged passports etc, etc. Funny how this never applied to targeted killings by the US, UK, France, Pakistan etc etc, whether using drones or assassins. How much does this tell us about those labelling Israel in this way? Besides, whoever killed this evil man has done the world a favour and should be thanked! Remember, suspicion is not "proof beyond doubt" so let's all wait to see if this proof will surface.
7. Reversed roles
Mikha ,   Nai'   (02.18.10)
Police defending and investigating for a terrorist group is just crazy if not mad.The dead imp had blood on his hands,surely that counts for something.He deserved what he got.Whatever the partial world leaders say Israel is and will be justified in killing active terrorists.
8. If the CCTV showed 2 dogs and a goat
steve from raleigh   (02.18.10)
He'd say they were Jewish dogs and sheep and the BBC would agree and write long angry columns of the history of violent aggression of Jewish dogs and sheep against the peaceful people of the world.
9. How can it be?
noa ,   israel   (02.18.10)
Israelis are not allowed in Dubai. It was so professional; it had to be done by someone who knew the hotel and was there before. Doesn't add it.
10. no surprise
yaniv ,   uk   (02.18.10)
the world acts out againts Israel, its as if the Mossad killed the Queen of England, have they forgoten who has been assassinated. What happened to innocent until proven guilty, obviously that does count to jews because we are to blame for every crises in this world. If this is the work of the Mossad then well done and let it be a msg to all terrorist ONE DAY WE WILL FIND YOU NO MATTER WHICH CORNER OF THE WORLD YOU ARE.
11. #6 Ram - 1% a safety valve to release your hot Indian air !
(02.18.10)
12. 99% is not 100%
brilliant! ,   IL   (02.18.10)
and anyways ..... good riddance
13. Paybacks a B
David ,   Miami USA   (02.18.10)
Israel has a long arm and dont ever think they'll forget you if you kill one of their own. So proud to see Israel in action again. Every terrorist should be scared for their lives as your days are numbered and all these Arab and European countries expressing outrage should be ashamed of themselves regardless of who did the hit. Were talking about the assasination of a known admitted terrorist. I'd like to see the same outrage when one of their men beat and rape a defenseless woman in the name of Allah.... this will happen the same day monkeys fly out of my a**.
14. Serious bungling
G ,   Toronto   (02.18.10)
If this is Israel's doing, which seems the most likely at this point, it is yet another embarrassing moment for Mossad. Just the fact that so many operatives would be caught on tape doing this is a major blow to operational capabilities and most likely puts those agents at risk.
15. to #5 Tamim is a hebrew name.
ghostq   (02.18.10)
really go look it up. I am not making this up, but Tamim is in Hebrew. lol means innocent. no arab in the world is call that way, and it's not in the Arabic vocabulary even. seems like your Muslim leader probably got jewish past, easily can be tested in genetic test. I dare ya.
16. to #10 the monarchy in Englad isn't British.
ghostq   (02.18.10)
but you made good point.
17. MAhbhouh....PART OF MURDER OF MANY JEWS...CONGRATS !
Benjamin ,   SINGAPORE   (02.18.10)
HE DESERVE IT ! WHO EVER DID IT, JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU !
18. Dubai
Ruth ,   Williamsport, PA US   (02.18.10)
It is ridiculous to think that Mossad would be stupid enough to use Israeli passports. Some other force is behind this and wants, as does much of the world, to see Israel blamed.
19. Dubai is afraid to admit that Muslims did it
Vardina   (02.18.10)
20. Didn't the mother of Avi Sansportas (z"l)...
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (02.18.10)
...appear on the news here? She seemed to think it was Israeli work.
21. Translation: We really have no idea who did it but.....
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (02.18.10)
it is always a safe bet to blame Jews and no one will remember this anyway a month later when the real Arab assassins will be found
22. big mouth ahamdinejad
marcel   (02.18.10)
savjourian, the jewish president of iran keeps threatening israel vis a vis hezbollah. If iran launches at israel, iran will get it back 100 fold.This little peacock who was involved in the american hostage taking in the 70s, will mete his end soon enough.
23. Shariah Law at Its Finest
Fritjof Lilienhammer ,   Copenhagen, Denmark   (02.18.10)
Another fine example of Islamic Law: Only Muslims are allowed to kill, and cannot be punished by non-Muslims. All Muslim men are born with the double zero before their name.Also, in this law system, the testimony of one man has the same value as the testimony of two women. Can these people really be partners in International Law and Interpol, or in anything?
24. Who's to say that the names/faces presented are real?
William ,   Israel   (02.18.10)
All airlines keep a manifesto of its passengers. That's not hard to get by govts. One thing that disturbs me is we are not seeing the complete passports - the photos and the names together. While I'd like to believe the Dubai Police are credible, if this is a frame up, it could go much deeper than first thought and they (Western govts, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, etc.) could be blocking real inquiry. There are many people who hate this guy, not just Israel. It could easily be Western govts who, knowing this guy was importing rockets to hit Tel Aviv and the harsh regional conflict that would ensue, probably did him in. Almost all intelligence agencies who use fake passports use European ones.
25. Guardian,BBC, Independent,Galloway,MuslimsALL AGREE ON THIS
Alan ,   SA   (02.18.10)
26. Whom ever the assassins are, thanks for risking your lives &
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.18.10)
making the world a better place to live in.
27. DUBAI has no right to talk or accuse
(02.18.10)
DUBAI IS BEHIND EVERY TEERORIST ACTIVITY IN OTHER COUNTRIES THROUGH TRAINING, FINANCING AND AIDING THE TERRORIST SCUM WHO GET MONEY FOR THEIR OPERATIONS IN ISRAEL, IN ENGLAND, IN FRANCE AND IN EVERY EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WHERE BOMBING AND TERRORRIST ACTS OCCURE. HAMEED ABOUGHAZE, IRANIAN
28. nastyrallah must be hiding under a mountain of rocks, but
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.18.10)
Israel will find him and give him a real surprise party. It will be very short but powerful.
29. # 9
Birdi ,   Israel   (02.18.10)
True Noa, Israelis are not allowed in Dubai. The team of assassins were using foreign(forged) passposts, not Israeli passports. The names & numbers on each passport did not match the person who travelled on the passport. Hence stollen identities. True that someone had to know the layout of the hotel.
30. like...really?
will edwards ,   dallas tx usa   (02.18.10)
c'mon guys lets be realistic here. Hezbollah and Hamas are killing us, literally! If we can stem the tide of their evil ways by precision operations then so be it. They do it all the time, except they kill, maim, and injure indiscriminately by design. These wicked people don't even value their own people's lives. I, for one, am not going to criticize or question those who risk their lives to protect me. I feel that murder is wrong... period, but the truth is this is war, unconventional true but war none the less, and in war it is the duty of our defenders to eradicate the enemy. I'd say this man was definitely the enemy.
