1. The Long Arm of Justice
Bravo ,   Tel Aviv   (02.17.10)
We will get you, and this is the primary message to all enemies of our state. We can strike you in your safest of locations, even in the heart of Arab capitals. If you wish war with us, then do not sleep at night. Look over your shoulder, we are coming to get you, you can't trust anyone!
2. Has Mossad really become this stupid?
soludo   (02.17.10)
To use names and partial data of Israeli olim? How dumb is that?

5. Israel makes no friends like this
Sanjay ,   India   (02.17.10)
A sovereign nation that forges the passports of other nations is not one that is welcome anywhere. A nation that engages in extra-legal state sponsored assassinations is little better than a terrorist state itself. Don't do this. You will lose the few friends you still have.
6. Assassination violates Int'l Law
Zach B. USA ,   USA   (02.17.10)
Once again, Israel violates international law. Assassination is in violation of the Geneva Convention. To be quite honest, Im not a bit surprised. @1, you should not be proud that your country is immoral and lacks common human decency. Shame on you Israel, the time will come when you alienate the few friends you have. I hope that time comes sooner rather than later. I personally will fight for the U.S. to stop supporting you.
7. That man was a confessed killer
Keren ,   IL-BR   (02.17.10)
"In a video made two weeks before his death, and broadcast on Al-Jazeera earlier this month, Mabhouh said he kidnapped and murdered two IDF soldiers, Ilan Saadon and Avi Sasportas, in 1989. Mabhouh said he disguised himself as an Orthodox Jew during the terrorist attack."
8. Passports copied by British immigration staff??
Jake   (02.17.10)
In other words, Israel is being set up! Who are these British immigration staff anyway?
9. #2 Answer: It's not the Mossad

10. That's for the two Israeli soldiers whose lives you took
avraham ,   nyc   (02.17.10)
ya Mabhouh!!!
11. Israel is behaving worse than the Mafia and the terrorists
Bill ,   NY   (02.17.10)
Israel is behaving worse than the Mafia and the terrorists.
12. The important thing: The man is dead and all should be very,
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.17.10)
very pleased with the results - the PA, Israel, the British, the Germans, the French and the Irish. But of course the British and Irish are not pleased since together they form the world centre of the Unholy Trinity: Classic anti-Semitism, "Progressive" anti-Jewish racism, and 7th century based Islamism.
13. Asking Interpol
Frankie Littlehammer ,   New Herstal, TX USA   (02.17.10)
Could Israel also just have asked Interpol to have Al-Mabhouh, Meshal and Marzouk etc. arrested? And would Arab nations just have handed them over to see justice done?

Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (02.17.10)
Soludo - this would seem like a silly mistake to me. I'd guess someone is trying to make it look like Mossad has carried out the assasination.

Poor fools ,   Los Angeles, USA   (02.17.10)
Hey Bravo, you can sit there and gloat but when the next bomb goes off in a pizzeria in Tel Aviv or in a disco with young adults due to a Hamas suicide attack lets see how you feel then. Hamas has been relatively quiet for a while now and god forbid they decide to start using the human bomb again. Cheers.
17. MOSSAD CANT BE GOOD AT ITS WORK ALWAYS. WHY IT BECOME DUMP ?
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (02.17.10)
1. EVEN ISRAEL AS STATE BECOME THE DUMPEST OF ALL TIMES. 2. IF ISRAEL STARTS TO LOSE ! MOSSAD LOSE TOO. 3. THEY FINISHED ITS JOB. THAT MEANS MOSSAD IS NOT THAT DUMP. 4. WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ! EVEN I AM MYSELF CAN GET DOWN ANYONE I WANT . ANYONE. ALL I NEED ENOUGH FINANCIAL HELP. BUT I ONLY HURT CRIMINALS. CRIMINALS. *** PS: DONT CALL ME. I AM DANGEREOUS. I MAY HURT YOU. I CANT WORK FOR ANYONE. IN FACT ! I AM A NICE GUY. NORMAL PEOPLE.
18. MOSSAD IS ALWAYS DUMP IF CIA DOESNT HELP MOSSAD.
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (02.17.10)
19. This proves that Israel has no connection
Vardina   (02.17.10)
with the "termination" of this Arab. Israel would never implicate its own citizens.
20. dreams CAN come true
tiki ,   belgium   (02.17.10)
What's all the 'bruhaha about? This man's "dream came true". We always hear how 'honourfull it is for a muslim to become a "martyr. How this world is only tempory but the next life is paradise. Well..... , somebody must love him very much for he IS living his dream, he IS in paradise, together with his 72 virgins.
21. Murky water
David ,   Tel Aviv   (02.17.10)
I'd take a Sherlock Holmes find out any real identity in this case. May I suggest that Dubai Police is out of its depth here? Aren't they busy with chasing couples on the beach and blaming Israel for everything, because we are turning their oil into sand? Yet. the report sounds like that it really sucks to be a terrorist. I like that.
22. This situation has all the makings for a superb
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (02.17.10)
mystery novel and screenplay for the movies. It has the tracking and killing of an evil terrorist, an international crew of assasins, a cast of innocents who are being blamed for the incident, a femme fatale who plays on the terrorist's sexual proclivites, an Arab traitor who delivers information and a broad political fallout which appears to have affected several governments in both the mideast and in Europe. Having written this, I want it to be clear that I had nothing to do with the assault. I was home taking care of my grandchildren. Nonetheless, I would like to volunteer for the terrorist assassination squad, whichever it may be. I have several legitemate passports, no criminal record and I crave some of the excitement I once had in my youth. I could play the role of the paunchy, somewhat distracted and rather ineffectual old man who, in his heart of hearts, is really a deadly pursuer of information. In fact, I volunteer for this role right now. I am spreading the word! You have my email address, Mossad, CIA, European Intelligence services, and Saudi officials. I will work for peanuts; in fact, I'll work for expenses only. My only problem is that my energy is limited and I may have to take afternoon naps and I can't stay up too late. Other than that, I'm ready. Are you? I would like to state, for the record, that if anyone does steal my idea and uses it for a screenplay, that I receive due credit and that I am allowed to play the part of the "old assassin" in the subsequent movie.
23. Hope it was worthit
David ,   USA   (02.17.10)
I hope it was worthit. Now that Israel has seriously violated the sovereignty of the UAE by committing murder in their country, and also violated the sovereignty of several large European countries by counterfeiting their passports (which in turn causes problems for citizens of those countries who travel internationallyl)...the backlash against Israel will be severe. Dubai hosted Uzi Landau as a goodwill gesture...we will see if Israelis are welcome there in the future. Britain, Ireland, France, and Germany are also very upset. I hope Israel knows what its doing.
24. Soludo#2: wouldn't you just love the Mosad to be that stupid
Israeli   (02.17.10)
But it isn't ☺
25. more sepeculation
ghostq   (02.17.10)
I didn't realized how Romantic people r to invent james Bond type of stories.just give it a rest cause you won't find who did it, every Europeen country now claim to stolen identities from her civilians, it doesn't matter who, we already know y, and how, until next time. :)
26. To # 6 Zach
Archie ,   Alabama,USA   (02.17.10)
As if killing innocent civillian with the Moslems suicide bombers in Israel and the rest of the world does not violate INTERNATIONAL LAWS. You are either one of these moslem thugs or for sure : Gladstone's little punk!!!
27. to # 9 Jake
Archie ,   Alabama,USA   (02.17.10)
I agree with you Jake, top raw second from left; is Saeb Erkat in disguise; here you have it !
28. Way too sloppy for Mossad! Must be a setup.
Danny ,   Vancouver, Canada   (02.17.10)
I can't imagine how Dubai could possibly find discarded passports used by assassins. Those passports would've been destroyed, not left behind. The Mossad is much smarter than that. The evidence Dubai claims to have can only be manufactured to frame Israel. Regardless of who did the hit, I'm glad there is one less terrorist to worry about.
29. Keep doing this soon the world community will shun you out
Anonymous ,   TX, USA   (02.17.10)
Israel's list of betrayels of its friends & allies is groing longer...soon they will no longer put up with it and shun you out.
30. Use my British passport next time, with pleasure!
Talula ,   Israel   (02.17.10)
Assassinating a dirt-bag murderer to me, is a good cause, and I'd happily lend them my British passport.
