What I'd like to know is: Is all what I just read substantiated with actual tape recordings and vidoeo recordings or is this merely the IMAGINATION and a work of FICTION by one of the Times anti-semite Ian-Fleming-wannabe editors?

A new day, a new 'revelation, a new 'headline, a new 'bombshell, ANYTHING to sell newspapers which, as WE all know by "reliable sources" are all nearly dead and buried.

been seen by forign news media, well they r British and start to act like Arab nation media if they have nothing they invent news, sad but true, I bet that this new media is full with Muslim editors like in the BBC. oh we now Bibi can file law suit against the news paper, for slander, that will be sweet. see some Brits on their knies.

the arabs / palestinians concocted this plan to deligitimize israel, which they are desperate to do and it is in fact the trendy new anti-semitism that israel needs to deal with, hiding behind supposedly legitimate moves. without any evidence this is the only natural conclusion, and i have zero faith in UK based anti-israel reports, since that country has been deeply infiltrated by arab culture supporting anti-israel interests. there is a reason why the US holds dearly the concept innocent until proven guilty, it wisely understands the slanderous potential of mankind, and it seems the arabs in particular.

TheSunday Times is so reliable. LOL

Ready for a movie Hollywood??? I can get better baloney at my near grocery store. LOL

Strangling causes the victim to thrash and he would have turned blue from lack of oxygen so it does not look like he was strangled. I think that from the smile on his face he was sexed to death by some high priced hot Dubai whore!

You have to pray after God to Britain because of UK You are in Palestine:(

someone has read too many spy novels.

should you or any of your IMF task force be caught, I will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Your passports will self-destruct in 30 days.

could be light skin area abrasions, not burns. But whatever.My only hope is that he realized what was happening to him--on behalf of the many people he killed or helped kill. Good job Israel. As for the ridiculously inane conjecture by the British paper, here's a dime--go call somebody who cares.

Brittish journalists looking to write a sequel to "Munich"?

When most of the poor Palestinian population in Gaza does not have even sewage, this Military Commander of Hamas enjoyed "la vida loca" in Dubai. He used forged arab passports. He was the miltary liason with it's Iranian bosses. No more....definitively speaking

you are living in a non-existent country.

to balance his 3 Nos policy; "no withdrawal from the Golan Heights, no discussion of the case of Jerusalem, no negotiations under any preconditions", Netanyahu had to.

what is it about you people. why do you care what the British Times say. they're rabidly anti-Israel so what's with you? What is with you????

The Times of London seems to have lost its former journalistic luster. First it states in quotation marks words supposedly said by the prime minister in a high security location as if the Times had a mole in the entourage of Dagan or Netanyahu. Then it goes on relating with much less precision the whole story mostly based on Dubai's police reports filling gaps with assumptions. If it had such a good source of secret info the story should have been related differently.

camps and blame Israel for what they left behind, I am not in Palestin, palestine is Brititsh invention, the idiots just don't know how to read history of places(seriousle until this very day they use wrong tearms for stuff-indians r in India not in Amerika), and British didn't give Israel her state the world gave by law that was legislated in 1947, at that vote the UK didn't say yes, the uk did everything to prevent the establishment of Israel, and that includes sendinng Israelis with their families to prisons in Athlit and Cyprus. they r also evacuated Arab in behalf of the jews while jews never gave any order, there was also a boat of holocaust survivors whom they responsible for drowning, and on top of everything during the 1948 war they gave Arabs weapons while they forbad from jews to have any. go check those facts. it's a common mistake to think that the UK gave anything to Israel, Israel did everything by her self. for herself.

I think it is funny that with this whole article they think that it is netinyahu's call to order a Mossad hit. That is the job of the security/defense minister.

The yimes is very clear that everything they are writing are just possible scenarios. So here is another scenario: the Hamas commander had been out drinking in an American bar trying to find a young blonde wife but all the American girls laughed at him because he is fat. So after returning to his hotel room sad and alone, he engaged in some auto-erotic asphyxiation and accidently cut off his air supply, strangling himself to death. Let's add that to the list of scenarios

...to the Prime minister, always have. None the less, this story is just dumb. I seriously doubt this was Mossad . We will have to wait and see if any of these people are caught. Everything reported so far has been nothing but nonsense without any evidence presented what so ever. So far the only facts are, He is dead, and passports were forged. Everything else is complete B.S., and even those two facts of the death and passports might not be the truth.

I guess Steven Spielberg is going to make a film about it.

Thank you, I thought you do not know to tell jokes :)

A good summary of the inforkmation already publicized. NO government official statement of ANY kind, indicates that the so-called " Israeli source " is probably just the speculation of the British Sunday Times. Why < YNET> and who in < YNET> bothers with the guess work of the Sunday Times " report ", is more interesting.

Absolutely disgusting! The editor should be sacked!

as other poster said, let's hear some recordings, sources, or videos to back up this story. Sounds like garbage - Mahbouh may or may not have been strangled (poison can break down, but I thought strangulation is easy to determine by broken hyoid bone or ligature marks) and the team may or may not have been waiting in his room. Cops assembled footage fast, but there are some major gaps. In any case, this guy was bad news and I'm glad he's finally dead.

Why crisis for this??? To bad Netanyahu didn’t authorize this since 14 mounts ago….
