Assassination Tango; Mahmoud al-Mabhouh
The recent murder of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai has many people discussing whether it was right or wrong to have done. However I wont really go into any of that here. What I would like to concentrate on are the way the job was carried out, the mistakes I see that were made in the operation, and finally, the end results and what the future possibly holds for those involved. So far I have not seen much in the way of a discussion on the merits of the hit team or the mistakes they made. I read on another blog that the mission was probably acted on or commenced in haste. I however disagree with that. I do not believe it was carried out in haste, rather I think it was planned well in advance, and was also the result of betrayal by someone close to Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, possibly even someone very high up in his inner circle.
