After a top Hamas leader was killed his Dubai hotel room in January, there's been suspicion that agents from Israel's secret service, Mossad, were behind the hit. Surveillance images of agents wearing obvious, ridiculous wigs and costumes and details about fake European passports and U.S.-based credits were released. Now, an alleged Mossad agent has been arrested. The AP reports, "The man, using the name Uri Brodsky, is suspected of working for Mossad in Germany and helping to issue a fake German passport to a member of the Mossad operation that allegedly killed Hamas agent Mahmoud al-Mabhouh." The Israeli Foreign Ministry said, "At the moment, we're looking into that like any other Israeli who has been arrested, and he's getting consular treatment."
