Who killed Mabhouh?
Inside Story asks what really happened in Dubai and who is behind the murder.
In the latest fall-out from the assassination of a senior Hamas commader in Dubai, Dubai’s police chief has said that individuals suspected of being Israeli – even if they hold foreign passports – will no longer be allowed to enter the United Arab Emirates.
The Dubai police are pinning the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh squarely on the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.
European nations have also promised to investigagte the use of their passports by the suspected assassins.
And as the plot thickens and the evidence mounts, Israel is facing increasing international pressure to explain its involvement.
What really happened, and will the people responsible for the killing get away with it?
