31. I wonder, how many Hamas people were involved in the...
Fuad Qassem   (02.24.10)
...operation, and how many Iranians? After all, he had worked for these two collaborating forces who probably found him to be unreliable anymore and therefore redundant, thus the killing and the flight back to: e.g., Jordan, Iran and most likely to Syria and Gaza as well.! The fact that Hamas insists on "investigating" the case is so telling!!!
32. mossad flees to iran (...)
eporue ,   europe   (02.24.10)
i dont believe, that they didnt know about this iranian involvement before. first, release information that make it look (as much as possible) as it was mossad only, then - after international reactions (which dubai was SO desperate for) - come out with the fact, that the mossad must have fled to iran... this is not an investigation, its a shame.
33. how incompetent
observer   (02.24.10)
to have 26 Israelis carrying Fake passports to visit Dubai in the same time without raising suspicion. have you said it is called Intelligence OR Mossad? were the 26 so intelligent than the Mossad, that they used fake passports to evade a passport with Israel's entry stamp on them. were the 26 in Israel and they got Dubai Entry Visa by mail?
34. Dubai Police Chief is a Joke
nb ,   texas   (02.24.10)
Dubai is turning this investigation into an international witch hunt to cover for probable Iranian or P.A. hit.
35. Conspirator Mug Shots. Looks very familiar
Tim ,   Brighton   (02.24.10)
Does anyone recognise the owner of the Seafront Kebab Shop? So thats what he does in his spare time?
36. Dubai Police are very smart
(02.24.10)
They don't want this big Israeli embarrassing scandal to die away !!!

38. more damage then good
marcellaurent ,   montreal, canada   (02.24.10)
Bottom line is Israel is doing more damage to Jews around the world better then doing them any good, even those who don't like Israel, and don't like it to speak on their name are now in threat, because once again Israel took the liberty of using Jewish as human shields, so if you were a french, Irish, British jew they will look at you in the eye as if you don't belong, or your loyalty is to some other country.. that is the scary part, what good is to kill one person, and to put the whole people who belong to this faith NOT COUNTRY on threat? this is totally stupid
39. "Some FLED TO IRAN".
Jake   (02.24.10)
"Dubai police said some hit squad members fled to Iran after the assassination" Seriously, folks. Does anybody still believe that Mossad and Israel had anything to do with this whole affair? It is the Dubai police that is controlling the release of all the information. I am starting to believe the whole scenario was manufactured in Dubai. After all, they are reaping all the publicity. As for what al-Mabhouh was doing in Dubai, what can I say? What happens in Dubai stays in Dubai!
40. The most logical explanation that everybody misses
ex intelligence ,   LA   (02.24.10)
It is clear that Mossad had its annual convention in Dubai. All his regional and European agents were present including its best agents from Iran. Mahbuh was an honor guest. Something went wrong and during a workshop how to make a classic hit Mahbuh was strangled by the drunk Mossad agent. All Mossad agents (250 of them) then needed to go back to their bases. Next year they need to have their conventiom in Syria or Egypt. And please keep it safe this time,don't drink and kill.
41. JK #15 from NY!!!
Ilana   (02.24.10)
This is the best post in the history of ynetnews!!! I laughed out loud!! Great!! hahahaha It is good to have something to laugh about. Thanks
42. They are making it all up as they go along ...
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (02.24.10)
this whole affair reeks of inter arab violence, the ineptness of it all is the hallmartk of these 'people'. NOBODY WORTHWHILE DIED REMEMBER. Mossad you can have my passport anytime you need it.
43. #1 - They need Dubai Police !!
(02.24.10)
44. All these agents to kill one not from the top.I imagine
Sami ,   Lebanon   (02.24.10)
how many agents are hunting Hizbollah leaders especially Nasrallah.I guess the whole jewish diaspora abroad will be involved. This operation is a complete fiasco .Netanyaho term as PM should be flavored with kind of screw up .Bad witches follow up his personality.
45. Actually we will soon find out there were 1,000 involved
So silly   (02.24.10)
46. If this really looks like a Mossad job to you
who's the stupid one   (02.24.10)
47. #38: What has any of this to with Israel?
Jake   (02.24.10)
Read the article again! Dubai is now saying the suspects fled to IRAN! Still think Israel is responsible for this? On what grounds? Contradictory circumstantial evidence?
48. Good to see our jewish friends getting rid of yet another ..
Hooman ,   Tehran-Iran   (02.24.10)
arab. We(the iranian nation)stand with you on this,and hope to see the return of the pre-1979 relations between israel and iran. Know this: Our common enemy is the arab
49. #14 - What makes you think they were Jews, besides racism?
William ,   Israel   (02.24.10)
Jews in Iran are definitely not protected. They are a 2nd class group that keeps their mouths shut. Iranians in the diaspora, and that includes Jews, knows the atrocities of this current regime and know the crackdown by the IRG on any Iranians living outside the country especially Jews. What you propose is absolute fantasy. No Jew would consider targeting a Hamas leader, who is beloved by Iran, and escape to Iran afterwards, They would go straight to Israel or the US to hide. Ergo - there is no basis here for your stupid comments except your own racism which has driven you mad.
50. #14 - After he's done destroying the B'hais
William ,   Israel   (02.24.10)
and then he needs to destroy the Kurds, wipe our the Zoroastrians and all remnants of pre-Islamic culture, disrupt the entire population in Iraq through sedition....then I'm sure he'll get around to destroying the Jews in Iran. Genocide takes a lot of work, and there are only 24 hours in a day.
51. #18 - I can't wait for suspects from Japan and Kenya
William ,   Israel   (02.24.10)
I think they got the tourists there for the Tennis game mixed up with suspects in the Mabhouh killing. Next names: Nelson Mandela, Mr. Toyota, maybe even Ban Ki-Moon.
52. #33 - Can't enter Israel on foreign passport
William ,   Israel   (02.24.10)
If you are a citizen of Israel you must enter on an Israeli passport, as is the same with each country and their prospective documents. Ergo, there would be NO Israeli stamp on the passport to enter Dubai in the first place. And there is no listing on foreign passports that the holder has citizenship in Israel. I know - I went to Dubai and flaunted by Jewish ass in front of the Lebanese and Egyptians that work there, while dining with heads of Gulf companies who knew I was Israeli.
53. Hot NEWS FLASH
Chaim ,   Arad   (02.24.10)
It has now been determined by the Dubai Police that the entire hotel was involved, including all staff. Police officials are now looking at the Chief of Police for possible involvement. Film at eleven.
54. #48 - return of the pre-1979 !!! DREAM ON BABY
(02.24.10)
DREAM.....DREAM....DREAM...are you sleepy ????
55. #38 - Rampant racism around b4 modern Israel
William ,   Israel   (02.24.10)
First - there is no proof of Israel's involvement in this mess, which is becoming more obvious as additional Arabs are arrested and some flee to Iran, Israel's mortal enemy. Your claim only underscores my point - racism is alive and well, especially in Montreal! And on that premise, people have attacked Jews in their neighborhood for soemthing another Jew did half-way across the world. That's racism, pure and simple, and amazingly it didn't happen in the Americas when so many Arabs are being convicted of terrorism against Western targets, especially 9/11 and the London and Spain attacks. The only reason that Israel is seen as a thorn by people like you is because it shows you that Jews will not be 2nd class citizens and will fight for their right to be Jews. If that makes you uncomfortable, I suggest you see a psychologist.
56. #48 - Don't balk your current regime yet
William ,   Israel   (02.24.10)
It seems they were the ones who ordered the hit and used Arab terrorist gangs and global criminals to carry it out, with the extended goal of sullying Israel's name. They did it to Mugniyeh for getting too close.
58. Hooman, you and I are in agreement on this
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (02.24.10)
as do all people in Israel and most in Iran. Also the current Mullocracy is not Iranian or Persian they are of Arab origin and this is why they are the enemy of both Israeli and Iranian peoples. The quicker you get rid of them the better it will be for Israel but the ones who will benefit most from this will be the Iranian people, so do it for your own sake first.
59. Are they just picking people randomly from a phone book?
The Dude   (02.24.10)
Sorry, but a hit team cannot be the size of a platoon! It seems they just want to narrow it down to a few thousand possible suspects and then they'll get it from there...
60. It just gets mader and mader!!!
Lana ,   Israel   (02.24.10)
Most of the so called suspects escaped to Iran and three Palestinians have been caught
