1. Newsflash 1944!
Robert ,   Princeton, NJ   (02.18.10)
Interpol has issued arrest warrants for Claus von Stauffenberg and his associates for "crimes against health and life".
2. Sublime
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.18.10)
So a known terrorist with the blood of hundreds of innocent people on his hands is executed -- deservedly so -- and Interpol launches an investigation? Wow. Europe has basically been a terrorist playground for decades, and Interpol decides that this warrants an investigation. If it was indeed the Mossad, they did Interpol's work. A little gratitude would be in order.
3. This is all fine and good. AS LONG as
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (02.18.10)
you take the same stance to those terrorist who use forged passport in the pursuit of th
4. Terrorist work in British passport office issue the passport
Jerry Stein ,   Chicago, USA   (02.18.10)
That is who would know who the duel citizens are. That is who has incentive to frame Israel. And nobody seems to celebrate the death of a known terrorist international arms dealer; wow what a sick world.
5. Wanted by law inforcement officers: Israel
Iyad H ,   Dundee, UK   (02.18.10)
Not surprising coming from a country where several of your ex prime ministers were on the 'wanted list' by intelligence officers of the British mandate for being terrorists. Shamir (remember Madrid 1991??), Begin : irgun and haganah passive-non violent friendly forces who blew up and murdered many innocents. Then, because it suits Israelis, killing was justified because it suits your justified cause. Long live the brave Dundonian George Galloway ;-) Wanted: by interpol: Israel
6. Dhimmi world stinks of stupidity and antisemitic
marlene ,   Philadelphia, USA   (02.18.10)
Is these "assassins" were arab/muslim terrorists who killed an Israeli politician, Interpol wouldn't give a d__n. And just in case some Israelis had something to do with the murder of a murdered - G-D BLESS THEM!!!
7. ISRAEL MUST DENY DENY DENY!
naro ,   nyc   (02.18.10)
I refuse to believe that Mossad would be that irresponsible and implicate its own citizens. Israel must deny if it is to maintain relations with the rest of the world. Fake passports are available why use olims passports and destroy their lives for ever. And who needs 20 people for assassination of one man?
8. That's all well and good AS LONG as
Joe ,   Ohio; USA   (02.18.10)
you hold those terrorists and counties that support and supply these cretins with forged passports and freedom of movement and safety while in their countries accountable in the same manner. It is politically expedient to harp on Israel while ignoring the arabic and muslim worlds support of terror that necessitates these kind of operations by Israel. IF. she in fact. did carry it out.
9. You would think this Hamas Guy was Ghandi>>??!?!?
(02.18.10)
10. Dubai with from Top(Sheikh Al Maktoum) to Bottom(Hotel
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (02.18.10)
Management) is associate in crime 1. If they allowed Israel they should get guarantees from Israel that no crimanl or such activity will be done relying on such tolerance from Arabic/muslim country to Israel and as soon as they got such breach of agreement they should retaliate by a. giving large sums to Hamas and even military equipment to retaliate b. Ban all Israeli or double citizens holding both a third country and Israeli citizens' entry to Dubai and Execute any person who secretly enter to Dubai with double citizenship without approval of Dubai Therefore Dubai is an accomplice in this crime allowing muslim domains Israeli killers
11. 3 cheers for Interpol! Huzzah for Hamas!
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (02.18.10)
Good for Iinterpol, who have probably never, ever issued an arrest warrant for any Hamas member involved in mass murder of Israeli civilians. Hurray for Hamas, for convincing the world that crime does indeed pay! And shame on those Israelis for trying to take the law into their own hands! They should be thanking Hamas for all those bus and restaurant bombings that have helped bring the Palestinian message to the world that genocide against Jews is permissible again. Does this call for immediate discussion?!?!?
12. Wanted; Mabhouh
Jacob ,   B7, IL   (02.18.10)
Did Mabhouh ever appear on that Interpol website? He confessed in public to having murdered two Israeli citizens.
13. #2 when you fake another countries passport
Jack ,   London, UK   (02.18.10)
this is a serious offence because now every single French, British, and Irish citizen travelling will get through extra security and scrutiny. This is not the first time israelis do that remember New Zealand and Canada?
14. Yet Mahmoud al-Mabhouh never wanted by Inter
Rehavam ,   Israel   (02.18.10)
15. I know who really did it....
David ,   Hartford USA   (02.18.10)
The league of Extraordinary People who are dedicated to eradicating terrorist scum from the face of the earth. The UN authorised this group several years ago. Too bad they don't inform Interpol about their activities- but then maybe Interpol has a mole. BRAVO to the team that made the hit! Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy. Let's start a pool to guess what slimeball will be next? Maybe Samir Kuntar, the child butchering pig who was welcomed as a hero in Lebanon?? 3 to 1 he's next!
16. hahahah
Jordan ,   Washington, DC   (02.18.10)
so let me get this straight... a group of hitmen assassinate someone responsible for the deaths of dozens of innocent people and interpol wants to get THEM? wow what a backwards world.
17. Capture them all and hang'em in public square..........
I lika da Pig ,   New York, NY   (02.18.10)
we don't vigilantes in the world. Vigilante justice ended with the death of Charles Bronson and his "Death Wish" movies. I hope I offended Sarah B, it makes me happy.
18. I recognize 3
Avi D ,   US   (02.18.10)
of the wanted. saw them speed skating Olynmpic races yesterday- jsut in differnt diguise. Saw another 2 few days before in Goose Bay Canada Target store looking for fish bait.
19. Can Livni bring Bibi to the UK so we can jail him as well
Mike ,   UK   (02.18.10)
This now appears to have Mossad`s fingerprints all over it. So now would be a good time for Livni to carry out her threat of coming to the UK and if she`d like to bring Netanayahu along as well, that would be useful because the British police would like to talk to him about using fake UK passports and endangering UK citizens by doing so.
20. who is actually interested???
Marcelo ,   Frankfurt   (02.18.10)
the real problem here is not whether Israel got rid off this crap, BUT that that crap indeed bough many weapons from UK to give to hamas!!!! and now, the whole business is dump...so, whoever did it, KOL HAKAVOD !! LOL !!!!
21. why would Mossad use jewish name to go to a muslim country?
rachel ,   usa   (02.18.10)
it doesn't make any sense ....can jews really go to dubai?
22. THIRD TIME,S A CHARM
secular beast   (02.18.10)
3 months ago same hit team tried previously to kill Mabhouh in Dubai,but failed,they fallowed Mabhouh to china and also failed ,then back to DUBAI,bingo target eliminated
23. OH COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Talula ,   Israel   (02.18.10)
This is absolutely ridiculous! How do we know it wasn't MI5 who did it? They could have stolen the passport identities and use us as an escape goat. Hello!?!?!?! it wasn't Mother Theresa that was hit - it was a terrorist who hates the west and was an arms dealer. The UK has enough reason to want him dead as well,
24. A different point of view.....
Abir ,   Chicago, IL   (02.18.10)
I am not at all surprised to notice that almost all talkbacks are fully supportive of the action against Mabhouh. The guy probably deserved what he got. However, rather than taking a "whatever is done in the name of security is justified" approach, lets just think of the following: 1. The famed agency's cover was completely blown. 2. The long term fallout from the use of European passports has the potential to damage Israel's relations with Britain, France and others. 3. In 1987, Mossad conducted an operation using fake British passports, and after Britain's protest, Israel committed to never embarass Britain again. 3. Israel certainly does not help its cause when it demands respect for its own citizens, while showing no regard for the rights of British & other passport holders overseas. 4. The identity of several of its citizens has been compromised. 5. The first rule of any spy organization is not to get caught. If the Dubai police could piece together the identities of these 11 "assasins" how difficult would it be for a more sophisticated Western security agency to blow their cover in the future? 6. Anyone visiting Israel with a foreign passport (a tourist, an immigrant) is at risk of having his/her identity used in the future for a similar kind of act.
25. To # 2 The killers better run away
Tyler Suderman ,   Pennsylvania   (02.18.10)
The members of this killer team, undoubtedly of the Mossad, have been uncovered. Their faces have become known. The most honorable thing the Israeli government and the Mossad can and will possibly do is eliminate them to save face as they have become a burden and useless. To them, there goes the cause for protecting Israel. Congrats. Stupid policy, you just opened the door for Hamas and Hezbollah operatives to hit Israeli targets all around the world. no Jew will ever feel safe again in a foreign country.
26. Dubai chief
Ram ,   London   (02.18.10)
You've got to love this guy, probably related to that comic iraqi reporting during the Gulf war. Israel has been tried and sentenced in one breath without a shred of evidence, just the way they would behead an arab who may utter the words "Israel is OK". Wow, Interpol, none less getting involved!! Sounds like more touchas licking by the Europeans. Well.....nothing new. But hey guys, is it not amazing that just because the operation was so daring and successful automatically people assume Mossad did it? I would say that is but a huge compliment to this Israeli organisation. Wow....some reputation. Keep ridding the world of vermin whoever did this and "thank you"!
27. Mahmoud al-Mabhouh
Arun ,   India   (02.18.10)
Mossad should and MUST be very very carefull in its operations. For it, every one is its enemey. If Mossad was envolved in the elemination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, then it has acted in a very childish manner. This is not the era of the Second WW. This is A.D.2010.
28. Osama Bin Laden
Joe ,   NB   (02.18.10)
So, if I managed to kill him I will get the 40 million bounty, but will end up in the interpol wanted list???????
29. #21
(02.18.10)
Are you kidding?? Dubai is filled with haredim selling diamonds...not to mention the Israeli foreign minister was there a few days before the killing...and they aren't really obvious Jewish names.
30. jews
farrokh ,   iran   (02.18.10)
It tacks 17 Jews to kill one un arm freedomfighter now you tell howmany more Jews you need to kill @ unarm freedmfighters.
