Wikileaks Reveals US Officials’ Lies: UAE Requested Details on Mabhouh Assassination from US Ambassador

Documents which were exposed by WikiLeaks reveal that the Dubai Police asked the United States for assistance in investigating the assassination of Hamas leader Mahmoud Al Mabhouh, unlike what the U.S. claimed last year, denying reports that it had received a request for assistance from Dubai.

A cable sent from the embassy in Abu Dhabi less than a month after the assassination (February 24, 2010 ) reveals that senior U.A.E. officials asked the American ambassador and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to probe urgently "cardholder details and related information for credit cards reportedly issued by a U.S. bank to several suspects" in the murder.

An additional cable sent to Washington on January 31, 2010 from the US embassy in Abu Dhabi and signed by Ambassador Richard Olson summarized local and international news coverage of the incident and described a chance meeting between the US envoy and Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed's media adviser at a social event that occurred while the story was breaking.

Dubai suspects "Israel's" Mossad agency to have been behind the murder of Mahmoud Al Mabhouh in a Dubai hotel in January 2010.

The WikiLeaks cable not only proved that the request was indeed made but that it was recorded in a secret State Department cable. By not accepting the request, the Obama administration harmed the Dubai investigation efforts and assisted "Israel" instead.

The credit card details uncovered by the Dubai police were linked to suspects using forged identity papers - none of their real identities has yet been revealed. The Dubai investigation has apparently gotten no closer to decoding the mystery of whether the Mossad was indeed behind the assassination. 

According to Dubai authorities, the team that tracked and killed Mabhouh used fraudulent British, Irish, French, German and Australian passports to enter and depart from Dubai. More than half of the people identified as responsible for the killing share the names of foreign-born "Israeli" nationals.
