Interpol issues ‘Red Notices’ in Hamas leader killing
By DPA, IANSThursday, February 18, 2010
PARIS - The international police agency Interpol said Thursday it has issued “Red Notices” for 11 individuals charged by UAE authorities in the killing of Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai Jan 19.
An Interpol Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant, the agency says. Rather, it targets people wanted by national jurisdictions, and enables Interpol to assist in identifying and locating the suspects with a view to their arrest and extradition.
Interpol said that the 11 people cited “have stolen the identities of real people,” and that the Red Notices specify that the names used to commit murder were aliases. On its web site, it has made public their photos and the false names.
Police in Dubai believe the 11 suspects were members of Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad.
