At the request of the Dubai police, Interpol added another 16 members of the Mabhouh hit team to its red alert list. Interpol normally ignores the killing of criminals, let alone terrorists, by intelligence services. Issuing arrest warrants for all the accomplices is equally unusual.
But Interpol is playing a foul game: they cannot be arrested. No doubt, the passport photos were digitally altered a bit. Border guards wouldn’t have noticed the difference, but positive identification has become impossible.
The purpose of the Dubai/Interpol operation is to create a headache for Mossad. With close to 50 members of its Spear unit compromised, the intelligence service will have a hard time conducting similar operations for a year or two.
