How Mossad kills his enemies

The assassination of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh : Video record how Mossad kills his enemies using fraudulently obtained French, English, Irish, German (etc.) passeports in the territory of the sovereign state Dubai (United Arabe Emirate). The murders used forged passports of existing european citizens, which has caused controversy in the European Union. A prove why citizens with dual citizenship (Israeli + EU member state) are national security risk in the EU area.

The assassination took place on 19 January 2010, in a Dubai hotel room. Al-Mabhouh - a co-founder of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamist Palestinian Hamas - was wanted by the Israeli government for the kidnapping and murder of two Israeli soldiers in 1989 as well as purchasing arms from Iran for use in Gaza; these have been cited as a possible motive for the assassination. He also had other enemies, including Fatah. He had spent 2003 in prison in Egypt and was being sought by Jordanian intelligence.

At 10:00 P.M., Al-Mabhouh's wife called his cellphone. The phone rang and went to voice mail. She called over and over again but with no results. A close fiiend also tried to reach Al-Mabhouh, but failed. Text messages sent to Al-Mabhouh remained unanswered. Time passed by and there was no sign of life fromAl-Mabhouh. The distraught wife called several Hamas senior officials, who decided to send the Hamas resident in Dubai to the Al-Bustan Rotana Hotel. The man went to the reception desk and called room 230; there was no answer. After midnight, the hotel employees finally went up to Al-Mabhouh's room, unlocked the door, and found his body. A doctor rushed to the room examined the corpse and concluded that the cause of death was cardiac arrest.

The Hamas published an official statement attributing Al-Mabhouh's death to "medical reasons." But Al-Mabhouh's family rejected the medical diagnosis and insisted that Al Mabhouh had been murdered by the Mossad. His body was sent to the Dubai medical examiner, while a sample of his blood was flown to a laboratory in France. The lab report came backnine days later. The Hamas now announced that Mossad agents had assassinated Al-Mabhouh, first stunning him with an electronic shocker and then suffocating him with a pillow. Simultaneously, the Dubai poUce announced that no traces of poison were found in Al-Mabhouh's blood. Nevertheless, they quickly reached the conclusion that the Mossad had killed Al-Mabhouh on their territory. On January 31, twelve days after Al-Mabhouh's death, the London Sunday Times published a piece about his poisoning by the Mossad. Its
reporters claim that Israehhit men had entered Al-Mabhouh's roomand injected him with a poison that simulated a heart attack; the agents then photographed all the documents he carried and exited the room, leaving behind the do not disturb sign.

On February 28, the deputy chief of the Dubai poUce informed the press that the French lab had found in Al-Mabhouh's blood traces of a strong
hydrochloride painkiller, used for anesthesia before surgery. This substance, he said, causes a muscular relaxation followed by a loss of consciousness.
He assumed that the killers injected their victim with the anesthetic and then suffocated him so that his death would look natural.
