Dubai's chief of police is seeking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest. He claims Mr Netanyahu is behind the murder of a Hamas commander in a Dubai hotel room in  January.

The Israeli secret service, Mossad, has been suspected of being behind the murder for some time. Israel says that there is no proof. But the Dubai police chief is so sure that besides Mr Netanyahu, he also wants a warrant issued for the arrest of Meir Dagan, the head of Mossad.

The assassins used false British, Australian, French, Irish and German passports. This recently led to a diplomatic row between Israel and the countries involved.
