Plot thickens: Suspects in Mabhoud assassination boated to Iran
2010-02-28
below is the 6th para in otherwise repeat story
The Dubai police statement issued Wednesday included a striking detail: two of the new suspects, identified as Nicole Sandra McCabe and Adam Marcus Korman and carrying Australian passports, left Dubai on a ship bound for Iran. All the others traveled by plane to European and Asian countries, according to the statement. The statement included no further information about the two suspects or why they would have gone to Iran.

#13  I still think it's the Russian Mafia, doing a hit on someone who double-crossed them. The Mossad would never send in that many agents where there's a good change of their being compromised. The Russians would do it as a lark.

#12  Well, whatever happened, a bad guy went down.

#11  I'm waiting for the press release from the Mossad office in Tehran before I draw conclusions here.

#10  This is a Palestinian plot to kill their own, yet they hired outsiders to do the dirty work, yeah that's it.

#9  Looks more and more that the Dubai police took their homicide investigation training in Boulder CO.

#8  according to this site, there is one ferry that takes only 4 hours to get to BANDAR LENGEH in Iran

That ferry also goes to Abadan. Home to a refinery, shipping, cheap foreign labor and is still strictly segregated. Previous reports said Mabhoud had visited the Iranian consulate and traveled to China. Maybe Nicole and Adam were following up on something:

Rev. 9: They had a king over them, the Angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, in Greek, Apollyon—“Destroyer.”

#4  So, how long before everybody (except anti-semites) realizes that Dubai "police" doesn't actually have any idea what's went down and just accuses western tourists on basis of random proximity?

#3  Nah, this one smells. It's some sort of trial balloon or leak test or something. A ship? Too easy to turn around and the assassins made a quick getaway.

#2  Actually, they do. Google the names and you will find the fake passport pictures.

They are either innocent tourists, or the smoking gun is squarely in Iran's hands.

#1  I'm guessing 'Nicole' and 'Adam' don't look exactly Australian ...
