PARIS — Interpol has issued an alert for 16 more suspects in connection with the slaying of a Hamas commander in a Dubai hotel room.
The international police organization says it has issued red notices, its highest-level alert, for a 16-strong team accused of “closely watching, following and reporting” the movements of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh before his killing.
Interpol said today it had issued the alerts at the request of authorities in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
It already has issued red notices for 11 other people suspected in the January killing.
The methodical stalking and killing of al-Mabhouh in a luxury hotel room has been widely blamed on Israel’s Mossad spy agency. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied involvement.
