According to Dubai police, the ongoing investigation has revealed that the assassins of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh gave him drugs, muscle relaxants, then suffocated him, realizing the drugs would make his death appear natural.
Reports quoting Major General Khamis Mattar al-Mazeina, the deputy police chief, point to the use of Succinylcholine, a drug which relaxes muscle tissue, commonly associated with endotracheal intubation. The deputy chief explained the drug was selected to give the appearance that the victim died of natural causes.
Al-Arabia reports the deputy chief as adding that investigators have found DNA traces at the scene and together with video surveillance footage, they have succeeded in solving the mystery surrounding the assassination. Dubai police officials have indicated they plan to request international arrest warrants for 15 suspects from Interpol.
Commenting on the assassination, Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, a retired IDF brigadier-general and former defense minister told Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) on Sunday “While I do not know who killed Mabhouh, the assassination was not a failure”, explaining he is addressing the results of the operation.
He explained that from an operational perspective, the deterrence factor has been significantly increased by the elimination of this senior figure, sending a clear message to Hamas that anyone can be targeted and reached.

Havent we heard enough of this? Answer is the only reason why there is an investigation is to try to make Israel look bad. The more they can find or make-up, the better. The fact that this monster spent over 20 years of his life as a high level terrorist aiming to be even bigger murderer doesnt seem to matter; he is viewed as an innocent tourist relaxing on a luxurious well earned vacation in Dubai.
Let’s have more failures like this one. Halavai veiter.
So his killers had more mercy on him than he had on those he aided in killing in cold-blooded murder. Hardly seems fair.
So he didn’t feel a thing. I don’t see why anyone would complain about the death of this terrorist. Even the people of Dubai are safer with him taken out and no collateral damnage was done.
Details are not important. The main thing is that he is dead and the others are not safe.
Even P E T A should be happy with this method.
The trail of evidence seems intended.
Israel appears to be purposely inciting an angry response from Hamas. Also, Israel has linked Hamas to Iran in an unsubstantiated plot against the Burj Dubai building. Taken together any attack on the Burj could be blamed on Iran, thus dividing the Arab world. If such an attack occurs involving a hijacked Israeli passenger jet, Israel might consider that provocation enough to attack Iran. That chain of events could be used to precipitate a world war, and could easily be a false-flag operation calculated to start such a war. Beware of another 9/11. gene falco, Christian
