| Theories
that have been advanced in this case include:
1.TheMossad Theory. According to Dubai authorities,
32 Israeli agents, disguised as tourists, took part in the
assassination of Mahmoud al- Mabhouh. They used a
powerful drug to paralyze him so it would appear to be a
natural death.
2.
The Inside Job Theory. Since Syria
deprived Mabhouh of his bodyguard, an alternative theory
is that Mabhouh
was killed by working with Syrian and possibly Israeli intelligence.
At the time, Mabhouh
was under surveillance by agents of Mossad and other intelligence
services. As
Mabhouh was an arms buyer for Hamas, the motive
was to weaken Hamas, its principal rival.
