DUBAI (Reuters) - Dubai's police chief plans to seek the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the head of Israel's spy agency over the killing of a Hamas leader in the emirate, Al Jazeera television reported.

Dahi Khalfan Tamim "said he would ask the Dubai prosecutor to issue arrest warrants for ... Netanyahu and the head of Mossad," the television said. It did not give details.

Tamim has said he is "almost certain" Israeli agents were involved in the killing of Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh at a Dubai hotel in January, calling for Mossad's boss, Meir Dagan, to be arrested if it is proved responsible. Tamim said on Monday Mossad had "insulted" Dubai and Western countries whose fraudulent passports were used by suspects in the assassination.

Dubai has asked the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation to look into prepaid cards issued by the Meta Financial Group's MetaBank which the suspects used, a United Arab Emirates newspaper said.

It will be interesting to hear what the FBI has to say. It seems that Dubai is seeking the FBI's help to determine where the money on the MetaBank cards originated from.

10. Lincoln is on her way out, but...

It doesn't mean Hartel wins in November. Maybe, but not a shoe-in.

8. Be more interesting if they would put some real data on the table, not just increasing the # of

people they claim participated. Is it really time for Oceans Three Dozen yet?

9. The NYT just released an interesting article on this.

Great disguises, don't you think? Particularly that canary yellow wig.

11. It says nothing new

Its no better than the Dubai Police bubba's bombasts. Names, some unconfirmed footage, more names, and then nothing. Inconvenient facts and questions are being ignored, not addressed. At this point many of us are saying "where's the beef". The initial furor is also dying down and understandably so.

I am surprised the the NYT's reporter is making such fawning statements and broad brush conclusions, then again he is based in Dubai and must go along if he wants to stay there.

7. Good. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

Will the US honor a Dubai arrest warrant?
