LYON, FRANCE (BNO NEWS) — The Interpol issued arrest notices on Monday for an additional 16 suspects over the assassination of a Hamas operative in Dubai, the France-based international police agency said.

Interpol is to join a Dubai-based international task force investigating the murder of Palestinian national and Hamas official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh on January 19, 2010.

At the request of UAE/Dubai authorities, the world police body has issued a further 16 “Red Notices” to assist in the arrest of additional suspects now linked to the murder of Al-Mabhouh, bringing the total to 27, the agency said in a statement.

The creation of the task force and the publication of the new “Red Notices” came as investigative information provided by the authorities in Dubai bore out the international links and broad scope of the number of people involved, as well as the role of two ‘teams’ of individuals identified by the Dubai police as being linked to Al-Mabhouh’s murder, according to Interpol.
