| Dubai: 15 more on that hit team , raising total to 26 | |
| 2010-02-24 | |
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.
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. | |

| #10 Presuming that this was a large team, MOSSAD etc. OPeratives are highly trained and would know iff there were any surveillance systems in place, as well as [potent]Personal Security. Its perfectly feasible that those alleged filmed MOSSAD Opers were deliberately placed in front of local monitors as diversionary cover for other MOSSAD Teams. TWO OR MORE [Large]COVERT TEAMS > suggests "TIME WAS OF THE ESSENCE" + HIGH SECURITY + TARGET PERSONAGE, AGENDUM WAS SUCH A THAT MISSION SUCCESS HAD PRIORITY OVER CASUALTIES + DIPLOMATIC FALLOUT. These are also suggested by MSM-NET Reports alleging that PM NETANYAHU escorted a number of "MOSSAD"? Hit/Strike Team Members during their departure from to Dubai. Lastly, IMO Israel is thinking that with Radical Islam + NUKULAARIZING IRAN making strong efforts to entrench itself in Israel's "Moderate" Arab neighbors, BETTER TO CAPTURE OR ELIMINATE HOM [ + amy other]NOW THAN LATER. |

| #8 I'm thinking the Dubai cops are fans of "Murder on the Orient Express" - everyone took a whack at him but with a cast of thousands? |

| #7 In practice there is no difference between a debit card and a prepaid CC. But the account set up may be very different. You used to need to give a blood test for a demand deposit account, but less for CC. Sort of like the difference between a cell phone on contract and a prepaid cell. |

| #6 Who and how are the bills paid? Lumpy Elmoluck5091 Bills are mailed to an 'accomodation address' or Post Box, then one buys a money order and mails it in. No problems. |

| #5 Metabank issue prepaid credit cards. Although I don't see how a prepaid CC is different to a debit card. Maybe its a DC that looks like a CC. |

| #4 14 of the suspects had used credit cards issued by MetaBank. Who and how are the bills paid? Law enforcement can access this information rather easily, so how is it all kept super top secret? |

| #2 It must have been a British, American and Israeli plot because they are the only countries left on the planet who don't have a flag on that map they made of the agents' travels. |
