Dubai's police chief says arrest warrants will be issued soon for 11 Europeans identified by police and suspected of killing a top Hamas commander. He says Israeli involvement is not ruled out.

Last month, Hamas military official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was found dead in a luxury hotel in Dubai. The city's Police Chief vowed to seek justice for the murder.

Dahi Khalfan Tamin, Dubai's police chief, said, "This is the way of mobs not countries. And if any country in the world turns to following the path of the mobs, at that time, they will become wanted by justice."
