Click to play videoJerusalem: Dubai has launched an international manhunt for an 11-member hit squad, all with European passports, that killed a top Hamas commander.
The Hamas official, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, was killed in Dubai in January 2010. According to Israeli security analysts the Hamas leader was also an arms dealer.
Some reports have claimed that Israel's spy agency Mossad ordered the killing of Al-Mabhouh, one of the founding members of Hamas.
Footage captured on security cameras and released by Dubai Police force show 10 men and one woman - the alleged hit squad - checking into the Al Bustan Rotana Hotel and awaiting their target.
Al-Mabhouh arrived at the hotel after a short while where he was killed just hours later.
After checking in, the man Israeli security sources accuse of being a key link between Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas was followed by two alleged killers dressed in tennis gear holding tennis racquets.
Police say they were checking the number of his room. Then they booked the room directly across the corridor.
Leaving the hotel for a couple of hours, al-Mabhouh was again tracked by different teams.
Police believe the killers entered his room at 8PM, using an electronic device to gain entry.
Al-Mabhouh entered his room at 8:25 PM. His body was not discovered until the next morning.
Police say he appears to have suffered electric shocks and may have been suffocated.
The suspects, caught on camera, have sparked an international manhunt.
Dubai Police says out of the 11 suspects six were on British passports, three carried Irish passports, one French and one German.
But Irish police have already said the names and passport numbers of their alleged nationals are fake while the other countries are checking.
The question remains - who ordered the hit?
Hamas and al-Mabhouh's family in Gaza are convinced Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, is behind the assassination.
Israeli sources say al-Mabhouh was smuggling arms to Gaza and that an arms dealer has many enemies.
Dubai's police chief says whoever is responsible will be brought to justice.
"I say if a state starts acting like gangsters, their leaders will treated like gangsters and they will be brought to justice, whoever and wherever they are," says Dubai Police chief Dahi Khalfan Tamim.
But even with extensive security footage and photos of 11 of the alleged hit squad, so far no-one has been arrested
Moreover, their real identities may never be known.
