Police recover DNA of Dubai hitmen
Dubai police say they have recovered the DNA of assassins, who killed a senior Hamas commander in January. "We have DNA evidence ... from the crime scene. The DNA of the criminals is there," police chief Dhahi Khalfan said on Friday on the Arab satellite television Al-Arabiya. On January 20, the lifeless body of Mahmud al-Mabhouh was found in his hotel with Israel's intelligence service, Mossad, being widely deemed to be behind the hit, given the agency's record of overseas assassinations. The case dipped into soaring controversy when the 11 people, initially identified by the Dubai police as suspected murderers of Mabhouh, were found to have been traveling on fake European passports.
