Dubai: Hamas operative drugged, suffocated |
2010-02-28 |
Dubai police says forensic tests show a Hamas commander was drugged and then suffocated in his hotel room. Police officials say tests showed a substantial amount of a fast-acting muscle relaxant called succinylcholine was found in Mahmoud al-Mabhouh's bloodstream. The drug is sometimes used to administer a breathing tube or anesthesia. Dubai police on Sunday also said a third Palestinian suspect is in custody. At least 26 other suspects are wanted after being accused of traveling on fake European and Australian passports. |

#10 Lack of recruits is not an issue for the Mossad just now, JosephM. They've been swamped with applicants since the news came out. |

#9 PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > [Dubai Assassination]BRITAIN'S MI6 MAY HAVE COLLUDED WID MOSSAD. * WMF > PLA SPECOPS EXPERT: DUBAI ASSASSINATION SHOWS THREE CAUSES OF CONCERN FOR WORLD INTELLIDENCE SERVICES. To wit, * LACK OF RECRUITS forcing FOREIGN INTEL SVCS to go outside their Agencies + National Govts to enable andor accomplish VITAL INTEL ACTIVITIES. * TRADITIONAL = CLASSIC NUMINT METHODS COMPETING WID SIGNIFICANT, CHEAPER CHANGES IN HIGH TECHNOLOGIES e.g. Dubai hotel's ultra-modern CAMERA MONITORING SYS. IOW, "FRANCHISING" > ITS NOT JUST FOR NUKES-HAPPY/SEARCHING ISLAMIST MILTERRS + IRAN ANYMORE!? * "VALID/LEGITIMATE FOREIGN PASSPORTS" > i.e. alleged "Valid/Legit" UK Passports used by alleged MOSSAD HIT TEAMS = POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS, UNRECOEVRABLE HARM TO INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS + GEOPOL SECURITY. |

#8 Succinylchoine is a paralytic, but not a sedative. Thus, unable to move or breathe, but fully conscious. |

#4 Succinylcholine oxidizes rapidly and is undetectable in the body less than one hour after injection. What if the person dies? Does the body continue to metabolize Succinylcholine? |

#3 Succinylchorine in powder form. Place directly over nose and mouth and continue to breath normally. Thank you Glaxo Wellcome. |

#2 Now I know the Dubai releases on this gig are phony. Succinylcholine oxidizes rapidly and is undetectable in the body less than one hour after injection. I'm distressed to hear that he wasn't beheaded alive and videotaped for recruiting purposes...now THAT would have been IRONY. |
