DAMASCUS, (PIC)--

Muhammed Nazzal, member of Hamas's political bureau, accused Mohmmed Dahlan, the leader of the mutiny trend in Fatah, of being involved in the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai last month.

In a statement to al-Jazeera.net on Thursday, Nazzal said that the two Palestinians accused of providing logistical support for the assassination team which consisted of at least 11 Mossad spies were Ahmed Hasanain, who is a former member of the Palestinian Mukhabarat (intelligence) and Anwar Shuhaiber, a former officer of the Palestinian "preventive security". Both men work in Dubai for a real estate company owned by Muhammed Dahlan.

Hasanain and Shuhaiber worked for PA security apparatuses in the Gaza Strip before Hamas took over control of the Strip in June 2006.

Nazzal explained that the two were involved in the assassination of Mabhouh and that Dahlan asked the Dubai authorities to release them, but they refused.

However, Nazzal stressed that this fact should not divert attention from the main responsibility of the Mossad for the assassination.

He asked the Dubai police to name the two Palestinians they captured and the show how they were involved as they have named and published photos of the other suspects.
