Identity Theft Check

The UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband has directly blamed Israel for forging passports used in January for the assassination for a Hamas military boss. The founder of Hamas’s military wing, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, was assassinated in a Dubai Hotel by  a hit squad who entered Dubai using forged British passports. SOCA, the UK’s Serious and Organised Crime Agency, carried out an investigation and the British victims were all questions and found completely innocent of any identity theft. Most of those questioned live in Israel and hold dual citizenship. Assurances have been sought from the Israeli foreign minister by the UK Government, that British passports will not be misused again. David Miliband also reiterated that the UK had no prior knowledge of the assassination.
