Britons shocked over link to Hamas assassination

TWO Britons whose passports were apparently used by a hit squad for the assassination of a Hamas commander in Dubai have expressed their shock.

Dubai police named 11 people they believe were involved in last month's killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.

The Foreign Office said the six passports involved – of Michael Lawrence Barney, James Leonard Clarke, Jonathan Louis Graham, Paul John Keeley, Stephen Daniel Hodes and Melvyn Adam Mildiner – were "fraudulent".
