Dubai Police Chief Receives Mossad Death Threats


Sep 30, 2010
Mossad issued death threats

DUBAI - DUBAI'S police chief said he has received death threats from Israel's spy agency Mossad linked to his role in uncovering details of the assassination of a senior Hamas leader, a report said on Thursday.

The Arabic-language Al-Ittihad daily quoted Dahi Khalfan as saying he had 'received two death threats based on the case of Hamas militant' Mahmud al-Mabhuh's assassination in a Dubai hotel on Jan 20. The police chief accused Mossad of being behind both threats, the state-owned paper added.

The first threat came days after Khalfan released pictures of the suspected killers and at the same time accused Mossad of involvement in the murder. 'Protect your back if you were capable of leaving your tongue loose,' a message said, according to the paper.

Experts in the United Arab Emirates had traced the source of this message, Khalfan told the paper, without giving further details. Khalfan in mid-February released the names and photographs of 11 murder suspects he said had entered Dubai with European passports - six from Britain, three from Ireland, one from Germany and one from France.

The second threat, the paper said, was a telephone call to one of Khalfan's relatives, a retired top Emirati official, from a 'Westerner with a dual passport' whom, he said, had asked 'my relative to advise me to remain silent.' It was later proved that the caller was a retired Mossad agent, he added.

Khalfan, according to the report, also revealed that the authorities of a 'Western country' had arrested a suspect involved in Mabhuh's assassination 'two days ago.' The person arrested was among a number of suspects for which international red notices had been issued by global police agency Interpol on behalf of the UAE, he added, without giving details of the country or the person involved. The UAE is seeking the extradition of the suspect, the daily added. -- AFP
