New passports issued to citizens whose identities used in Dubai assassination

Britain is providing new passports to six citizens whose identities were used by suspects in a Dubai assassination, to spare them from arrest under an Interpol alert. Consular staff at the British embassy in Tel Aviv tracked down the six, all of whom live in Israel, after Dubai police said an alleged hit squad had used their identities when entering the emirate to kill a top Hamas commander. "We have invited the nationals to come to the consular section in Tel Aviv to get new passports in place of the ones that Dubai police publicized with their identities," said an embassy spokesman. Eleven people carrying European passports reportedly took part in the killing of Palestinian Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in a luxury hotel last month.
