11 members of an alleged hit squad, seen above.
Cue up the Mission Impossible theme music - this one reads like a story ripped out of an episode of Mission Impossible. The assassination, as described by Tamim, could have been pulled from any number of great spy movies like James Bond, The Bourne Idenity, a John le Carré novel or a Jerry Weintraub movie.
Just as commonly seen in Mission Impossible, the hit men and women apparently used false European IDs to get into the country and disguised themselves with beards and wigs while stalking their target. Al-Mabhouh, the founder of Hamas' military wing, was then ambushed and slain by team members who had sneaked into his hotel room.
Dubai's attorney general today issued an international arrest warrant against the alleged 11-strong hit squad that tailed and killed a top Hamas official in his hotel room on Jan. 20.
