In Hunt for Dubai Hit Men, Trail Goes Cold
(Wall Street Journal) Chip Cummins and Alistair MacDonald - Dubai police thought they could link Israel to the assassination of Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in January 2010 after finding dozens of forged passports, but eight months later the trail has gone cold, a Wall Street Journal examination shows. A string of apparent dead ends has frustrated international investigators, lengthening the odds that anyone will be caught or that definitive proof of Mossad involvement will emerge. Israel has said there's no evidence linking Mossad to the murder of Mabhouh, one of the founders of the military wing of Hamas, which Washington, London and Israel designate as a terror organization. The U.S. and many Western nations have for decades quietly worked with Mossad and other Israeli agencies, benefiting from their intelligence gathering in the Middle East and beyond.
