Dubai: Israeli premier faces arrest

The head of the Dubai police is planning to seek the arrest of the prime minister of Israel and the head of the country's secret service, Mossad, over the killing of a Hamas leader. Dhahi Khalfan Tamim told Al Jazeera he would ask the Dubai prosecutor to issue arrest warrants for Binyamin Netanyahu and Meir Dagan this week. Tamim said he was "almost certain" Israeli agents were involved in the killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a Hamas commander, at a Dubai hotel in January. Israel has has neither confirmed nor denied involvement in al-Mabhouh's murder. The police chief said Mossad had "insulted" Dubai and Western countries whose fraudulent passports were used by suspects in the assassination. And a UAE newspaper reported that Dubai had also asked the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to look into prepaid credit cards issued by the Meta Financial Group's MetaBank which the suspects used.
