Dubai: 15 more on that hit team , raising total to 26
Police in Dubai have identified 15 more suspects in last month's killing of a senior member of Palestinian militant group Hamas, taking the total to 26. Six of the new suspects involved in the death of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh had UK passports, while the rest had Irish, Australian and French documents.
I'm beginning to wonder if every Westerner in Dubai at the time was involved in this thing.
Earlier this month, the Dubai authorities released the names and passport photographs of 11 "agents with European passports" - six from the UK, three Irish, one French and one German. All four countries have since said the documents were fraudulent.

The six newly identified suspects who used UK passports were listed as Daniel Marc Schnur, Gabriella Barney, Roy Allan Cannon, Stephen Keith Drake, Mark Sklur and Philip Carr.

Those on Irish passports were Ivy Brinton, Anna Shuana Clasby and Chester Halvey; on French passports David Bernard LaPierre, Melenie Heard and Eric Rassineux; and on Australian passports Bruce Joshua Daniel, Nicole Sandra Mccabe and Adam Korman, according to the statement.

Dubai police also produced a chart tracing the travel routes of both the new and old suspects before and after Mr Mabhouh's death. (See PDF of chart here.)

Investigators have also discovered that 14 of the suspects had used credit cards issued by MetaBank, which is based in the United States. "The cards were used to book hotel rooms and pay for air travel," the statement added.

The UK Foreign Office said it was following up the reports that more false passports of British nationals might have been used, but would not confirm the figures given by the Dubai authorities.
