Ripples of Dubai Killing: Vol.2

Reports about Israeli spy planes entering Hungary follow mysterious killing of Syrian in Budapest

Two Israeli aircraft appearing to be spy planes flew near Budapest's international airport last week but did not land there, Hungarian media reported Thursday.

According to the reports, the planes were on a "spy mission" that may be connected to the assassination of a Syrian national in his vehicle Wednesday in the Hungarian capital.

The two Gulfstream planes, reportedly equipped with the IDF's finest intelligence means, flew through Turkey, Bulgaria, and Romania before entering Hungary's airspace, the media outlets said. The aircraft were said to leave Hungary after completing their mission, without ever landing in the country.

Responding to media questions, a spokesman for the Hungarian Defense Ministry said that the Israeli planes were on a diplomatic mission.


Meanwhile, the Hungarian Foreign Ministry said that air traffic in the country is under the jurisdiction of the local aviation authority. The Ministry refused to address questions regarding the nature of the mission that prompted the Israeli planes to arrive in Hungary.

The identity of the Syrian national assassinated in Budapest had not yet been published. Hungarian police officials said an unknown assassin shot the 52-year-old Syrian while he was driving his car. The shooter grabbed a black briefcase from the vehicle before fleeing the scene of the attack, police said.

That may change, though, after the police in Dubai found that 27 suspects in the assassination of a visiting Hamas official were found to have traveled on forged British, Irish, French, German and Australian passports.
It's beginning to sound like "Clue (The Movie)." Where's Tim Curry when you need him?

Suspect in Killing of Hamas Official in Dubai Is Arrested

By KATRIN BENNHOLD
Published: June 12, 2010
PARIS — A man wanted in connection with the assassination of a senior Hamas official in Dubai last January has been arrested in Poland, officials said Saturday.

German officials are seeking extradition of the man who The Associated Press said was carrying a passport bearing the name Uri Brodsky, because they think he helped a suspect in the assassination obtain a German passport, said a spokesman for the German federal prosecutor’s office, Andreas Christeleit....

Dubai doesn't want 'Mossad agent'

By BENJAMIN WEINTHAL AND JPOST STAFF.COM

Dubai will not request the extradition of a suspected Mossad spy who might have played a role in the Mabhouh assassination in January, Dubai’s police chief, Lt.-Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim, said on Sunday according to a report cited by Channel 10.

"The suspect committed his crime in Germany, so it is natural that he would be prosecuted there. What is important is that he is punished, not which country punishes him," commented Tamim....
