Dubai police: A prime suspect in Mabhouh case was arrested outside UAE

 DUBAI, — Dubai police chief Dahi Khalfan announced that a prime suspect in the assassination of Hamas official Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh in Dubai on January 19 was arrested abroad, according to the UAE National newspaper.

Khalfan told the newspaper that the suspect played a key role in the assassination, adding that the country which arrested this person two months ago asked the UAE authorities not to disclose any details in this regard.

The newspaper expressed its belief that the country in which the suspect was apprehended could not be European.

The Dubai police chief said earlier that he had received death threats from the Israeli Mossad to dissuade him from continuing his investigations into the crime.
