About that "Dubai will arrest Bibi" story...

"Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, will be the first to be wanted for justice as he would have been the one who signed the decision to kill [Mahmoud] al Mabhouh in Dubai. We will issue an arrest warrant against him," Tamim said.

It's worth emphasizing the caveat in Tamim's statement, which is being misreported a bit: Al-Arabiya, for instance, headlines a story "Dubai to seek Israel PM for Hamas killing." That's only true if Israel was involved, which hasn't been proven; indeed, a Hamas inquiry leaked last week suggested Arab governments were involved, though Hamas later denied those reports.

Arabic news reports generally characterize Tamim's remarks properly (عربي).

In the meantime -- since nobody has claimed responsibility, and the Dubai police are keeping quiet -- everyone continues to speculate about Mabhouh's killer.

The not-very-credible Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas has a long article (عربي) blaming Mossad for the assassination -- and also for a half-dozen other killings, including the motorcycle bomb that killed Iranian scientist Massoud Ali-Mohammadi last month.

Mohammad Badie, the new supreme guide of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, thinks Israel is responsible.

And Ha'aretz points out that quite a few people probably wanted to kill Mabhouh.
