Interpol on Thursday issued Red Notices for 11 people wanted in the United Arab Emirates on suspicion of involvement in the murder of a Hamas militant leader, Mahmoud al Mabhouh.
Mabhouh, leader of a Hamas paramilitary wing, was killed in Dubai in January. Hamas says he was murdered by Israeli agents. Israel says there is no proof.
The 11 suspects "have been charged by UAE/Dubai authorities with coordinating and committing the murder of Palestinian national and Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai on January 19, 2010," Interpol said.
The international police agency said it had reason to believe the suspects used the names of other people after stealing their identities.
"The Red Notices specify that the names used were aliases used to commit murder. Interpol has officially made public the photos and the names fraudulently used on the passports in order to limit the ability of accused murderers from traveling freely using the same false passports," it said on its website.
