Permalink Dubai seeks Israeli PM's arrest over hotel murder

Dubai police said Tuesday they are seeking the arrest of Israel's prime minister and the head of its spy agency over the murder of a top Hamas militant in a hotel room of the Gulf city-state. Police chief Dahi Khalfan said he had issued the demand for the arrest warrants as he was now certain they ordered the Cold War-style hit on Mahmud al-Mabhuh. "I have presented the (Dubai) prosecutor with a request for the arrest of (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu and the head of Mossad," Meir Dagan, said Khalfan. "I am now completely sure that it was Mossad," said the police lieutenant general. AWIP: 'Netanyahu authorized Dubai assassination'. Al Jazeera: Israeli premier faces arrest.
