More info about the assassination of Mahmoud al Madbouh from last month (see Dubai Assassination).
Apparently they’ve found info about some of the assassins: “Dubai killers stole identities of UK citizens“.
The Dubai papers played up the fact that it took either 11 or 17 people to kill him, but I think regardless of the size of the team, this is the key quote:
“His murder in his hotel room near Dubai’s international airport took 10 minutes and early forensic tests suggest he was suffocated. The assassins left on flights to Europe and Asia before the body was discovered on 20 January.”
He was dead before the Police even knew they’d been to and left the country.
Jeesh!
