The Annals Of Unsolved Crimes  

The Dubai Assassination

Two Theories

June 9, 2010

by Edward Jay Epstein


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.
