"The Dubai Police chief says a major suspect in the [January 19] killing of [Hamas man] Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was arrested in a western country about 2 months ago - but authorities in that country asked that nothing be made public... 'I do not have an explanation for why they do not want to make it public, but there is a need for more transparency in this case. Why is it that every time an Israeli is involved in a crime, everyone goes mute? Lt Gen Tamim asked." (New arrest revealed in Mabhouh assassination, Wafa Issa, thenational.ae, 11/10/10)
