Gulf News video release on the Mahmoud Al Mabhouh assasination

[fightingquaker13]

"Al-Mabhouh, one of the founders of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, reportedly was in Dubai for an unknown meeting — without security, due to an inability to purchase timely airfare for his bodyguards — and according to STRATFOR sources stopped there on his way to Tehran to meet with Iranian officials about prospective arms sales to Hamas. He was found dead in his room at the Al Bustan hotel in Dubai on Jan. 20."


He can't get airline tickets for his bodyguards but can afford arms purchase from Iran?

Either a big time set up on the inside or a honey trap.

Probably the latter. That's what Dubai is known for, being the Vegas of the Middle East. No matter how repressive a regime you claim to support, you can come to Dubai and get your freak on, and nobody saw nothin'.

I wonder if he told the Mrs. he was going hiking on the Appalachian trail. Just wondering

Yeah, I am wondering if they actually have the wet bars stocked with liquor in the Dubai hotel rooms...and if they can get the Playboy or Penthouse channel on the TV.

Heck, they might even serve bacon for breakfast too.   

Isn't Dubai where like a lot of non-Arabic or non-Farzi (sp?) speaking foreigners go to for work...like Chinese and Koreans...in the service industry there?

Hmmn...kinda makes me wonder how rampant prostitution is there too...hmmn???

Dubai has replaced Beirut as the city where Muslims and Arabs go to drink and party.
