| TEHRAN -- The murder in Dubai of top Hamas militant Mahmud al-Mabhuh last month was an act of Israeli "state terrorism," the Jewish state's arch-foe Iran said on Tuesday. They're working our side of the street! "The Dubai assassination is an act of state terrorism on the part of Israel," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said in a report by state-run Press TV. "Israel's existence is itself based on terrorist activities," Mehmanparast said at his weekly news conference, according to the channel which translated his comments into English. Unlike, say, IRAN?

| #9 Mossad probably wouldn't have been so 'overt' with all the CCTV camera viewings, nice hotels to change clothes in, funky disguises, no fake wives/babies, etc. Unless they were thumbing their noses at Dubai/Hamas security and/or looking for You-tube fame. Operatives are kind out 'outed' now, whoever they are working for. Of course they DID do their job. |

| #2 With all of the host nation CCTV coverage and instant replay commentary, ima wondering if it could have possibly have been a Dubai intelligence service tradecraft training film.... gone terribly wrong. Wrong place - wrong time syndrone? |
