The Dubai Hamas Murder Mystery
March 4th, 2010 • News
Al Jazeera has been following the fallout from the assassination of Mabhouh in Dubai.
In the latest fall-out from the assassination of a senior Hamas commader in Dubai, Dubai’s police chief has said that individuals suspected of being Israeli – even if they hold foreign passports – will no longer be allowed to enter the United Arab Emirates. What really happened, and will the people responsible for the killing get away with it?
The Listening Post looks at the media coverage:
In our Newsdivide this week, we look at the trail of clues left by al-Mabhouh’s assassins and the changing narratives of media across the world. Newsdivide: The assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, the Hamas military commander, had all the elements needed to shoot it to the top of editorial priority lists around the world. There was mystery, political rivalry, stolen identities and most importantly, footage – 27 minutes of it, all filmed by numerous surveillance cameras around Dubai.
