Timeline: Dubai Hamas killing and its aftermath

DUBAI (Reuters) - Dubai is hunting for at least 26 people over the killing of a Hamas commander in a Dubai hotel in a suspected Israeli operation that has caused a diplomatic furor.
World
Hamas military commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was killed last month in his hotel room in what Dubai police say they are near certain was a hit by Israel's Mossad spy agency.
Dubai police on Wednesday added 15 new names to a list of suspects wanted over the killing. Six carried British passports, three held Irish documents, three were Australian, and three French, the Dubai government said in a statement.
Dubai authorities had earlier named 11 suspects, who they said traveled on fraudulent British, Irish, French and German passports to kill Mabhouh. Six were Britons living in Israel who deny involvement and say their identities were stolen.
"Dubai investigators are not ruling out the possibility of involvement of other people in the murder," the statement said.
The suspected killers' use of passports from countries including Britain and France has drawn criticism from the European Union that diplomats said was aimed at Israel. Some of governments involved have summoned their Israeli ambassadors.
"Friendly nations who have been assisting in this investigation have indicated to the police in Dubai that the passports were issued in an illegal and fraudulent manner," the Dubai government statement said.
It said that pictures on the passports did not correspond to their original owners.
In a statement on Monday that European diplomats said was intended as a rebuke to Israel, EU foreign ministers said that the assassination was "profoundly disturbing."
Israel has not denied or confirmed it played any role but its foreign minister said there was nothing to link it to the killing. The United States, Israel's main ally, has kept silent about the affair.
VIDEO FOOTAGE
Mabhouh, born in the Gaza Strip, had lived in Syria since 1989. Both a Hamas official and Israel have said he masterminded the capture and killing of two Israeli soldiers during a Palestinian uprising in the 1980s.
Like last week, Dubai police released passport photos and closed-circuit television footage of the new suspects, who police said arrived from cities including Zurich, Paris, Rome, Milan and Hong Kong.
"This was to take the camouflage and deception to its utmost level and to guarantee the avoidance of any security supervision or observation of their movements," the statement said.
Once their part in the operation was completed, the suspects again dispersed to different parts of the world, with two suspects leaving Dubai by boat for Iran, it said.
Dubai police also released credit card details of some of the suspects. At least 13 credit cards used to book hotel rooms and pay for air travel were issued by the same small U.S. bank.
Two Palestinians suspected of providing logistical support were in detention and Dubai's police chief has said he believes the operation could not have been carried out without information from inside Hamas on Mabhouh's travel details.
An official from the movement was quoted as saying last week that Hamas had launched an investigation to try to discover "how the Mossad was able to carry out the operation.
Mossad is believed to have stepped up covert missions against Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah militia as well as Iran's nuclear project.
Mabhouh's killing was the third high profile murder in less than two years in trade and tourism hub Dubai, one of seven emirates in the UAE federation, where violent crime is rare.

Why so much investigation for the murder of a big murderer? Did he not kill many people directly and indirectly. Where was the investigation for those deaths?

Where is the proof that the Mossad was involved? Or is it the usual “Innocent untill proven guilty, but not when Israel is involved”?

Bank, Gaza, Iraq or even in Iran. Not even the Hariri case has come to a final conclusion, to the best of my knowledge. The bombing site was so thoroughly altered before the UN commission had its first meeting that perhaps no real evidence if available anymore?
“Murder incorporated” is alive and well and working for the state now. But the states seem to behave like Mafiosi so the hit men must feel right at home.
What does not get any coverage in even this paper – and this is one of the better ones, is the plight of the inhabitants of Gaza who can neither, apparently, flee the country – not even during the peak of the recent Israeli bombardment – but who can’t leave now and yet are not allowed to get most of what they need for daily life, especially building materials required to rebuild after the disaster not quite a year ago. They were a peculiarly badly treated population considering how many other places of open warfare have also seen most of their populations leave for safer havens. They were not allowed to leave by the Israeli and Egyptian blockade.
Considering the extreme right wing of Israeli politics that still want all of what they claim was biblical Israel territory, it is surprising they don’t encourage all the inhabitants of both the West Bank and Gaza to leave. The Israeli government could then continue to confiscate whatever they want and never again have to worry about whether a real state with its act together could ever present a claim for restitution and damages caused by the creation of the state of Israel. The UN is keeping a list of Palestinian claims against the Israeli government.
The issues now being acted out are not about the rule of law, but about it’s collapse.

Reuters editors, you left out this first line in my post.
This has not been the only “extra-judicial” killing to occur in Afghanistan, the West Bank, Gaza, Iraq or even in Iran……..
The word “extrajudicial killing” is used frequently in the news digests of the UN.
