Ibts,

Interesting.. Still, you failed to produce an actual link between Dubai Police and the murder.. Waxaan ku leeyahay uun wax aanad hubin ha sheegin, adigaanay kuu fiicnayn.

 

I've read everything about the mass deportation (reasons ranged from security, expired temporary passports, emiritsation) and braced myself for madness in the UAE and then – nothing, not even in blogsphere (where you get the real news). I don't think it happened or was going to begin with, even Al Quds which started it all didn't do a follow up.

 

Emiritsation is not as sinister as you make it- Locals have a hard time finding jobs in the private sector- the government is training and educating them so they can adequetly compete for jobs. Even those with adequet degrees get discriminated agaisnt because of prejudice against them (which you seem to hold too despite never vitisting the country). No, one will turn up to work and find an Emarati in their seat. The idea is to build a knowledge economy and to decrease recruitment from aborad but the country will still need a majority expat workforce because there's just isn't enough Emaratis to fill all the positions. They only make up 20% of the population- and the majority work and prefer working for the government.

 

Even so... the UAE has given thousands of Palestinian refugees Emarati passports, they and the poor Emaratis would benefit from the Emiritsation drive most.

 

Ng,

LOL@ that was very convenient for us.

[Cara.]

So strange. 11 people sent to suffocate 1 man with a pillowcase? Seems more likely that there were only 2 or 3 sent, and the rest were at the hotel for some other clandestine reason. I'm pretty confident about this, I've watched all seasons of Alias and not once did the spy chick need more than 1 other person to help out

 

I bet any random tourist hotel in the world will have several people there with fake IDs. Spies, arms, dealers, politicians meeting their very special constituents...

[N.O.R.F]

The UAE is flexing it's muscles (and rightly so). Expect to hear new rules for entry into the country soon. I wouldn't be surprised if people from the 30 odd countries who get a free visa into the UAE are required to have all their biometric info on their passports.

Assassins may regret taking on the Arab world's best police force

 

By KSENIA SVETLOVA

 

While the world media continues to point to the Mossad as the most likely contractor of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh’s murder, and Hamas threatens revenge, Dahi Khalfan Tamim, Dubai police chief, is sounding his own warnings.

 

“Anybody who tries to work behind our backs [in Dubai] must watch his back, and this applies to all intelligence agencies in the world, whether this [individual] is affiliated to Hamas or Mossad or any other intelligence agency,” Tamim told Dubai media on Thursday.

 

Tamim has become one of the central figures in this shady, tangled affair. He has been talking frequently to reporters, presenting new information day-by-day – maps, passport numbers and security camera footage of the suspects from airports, hotels and shopping centers.

 

Amid the media frenzy, the remarkable capabilities and efficiency of his Dubai police have been rightly noted. Ever since the January 20 hit, the authorities have managed two difficult tasks: controlling information and providing accurate and trustworthy accounts of the events.

 

The world heard of Mabhouh’s murder only when Dubai’s authorities decided to let it be known, and not a minute earlier. And Tamim has been on hand since with clear, coherent updates.

 

Many people – notably including those who sent the killers to room 230 in al-Bustan Rotana on January 20 – are doubtless wondering: how is Dubai doing it?

 

It fact, this is not the first time that Dubai has dealt with a high profile murder case that involves international assassins, hotel room activities and bizarre clues.

 

Less than a year ago, Sulim Yamadayev, a Chechen leader who was once a close aide to Chechen President Ramazan Kadyrov, was gunned down in the parking lot of the Jumeirah Beach Residence, the luxury Dubai apartment building where he resided, dying later in the hospital. A golden gun, which allegedly belonged to Kadyrov, was left at the crime scene. Dubai Police arrested two suspects in the case, but the main suspect, a Russian Duma deputy named Adam Delimkhanov, is still wanted in the UAE.

 

Last April, Dubai police declared the case solved and forwarded to Interpol a request to arrest Delimkhanov. Police chief Tamim called on Russia to “take responsibility in front of the world to control these killers from Chechnya.”

 

The Dubai Police was established with only 29 members back on June 1, 1956, in Naif Fort, which still operates as a police station. It is reputed to be the most forward-thinking and progressive Arab police forces today, at least according to the Gulf News, and its own website: “Comprising our ranks are 15,000 personnel of the highest educational standard of any organization... under the direction of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.”

 

The force is reputed to have been the first in the Arab world to use DNA testing in criminal investigations, the first to use electronic finger printing, and the first to implement the concept of a paperless department.

 

It is also apparently not afraid to ask for guidance if it needs it. The latest update on its website reports that the “passports of the mercenaries” who killed Mabhouh were not fake. “Dubai immigration officers were trained by European security experts to spot such documents. This training qualifies immigration officers to spot fake passports. They applied these procedures at Dubai airport when the alleged [killers] entered the country,” he said. “No forgery was found in those passports.”

 

Many of the Dubai police personnel come from abroad, while others studied and trained in foreign countries, including Egypt.

 

Considering that almost every possible sphere of life in Dubai is heavily foreign-influenced – only 10 percent of the million-strong populace are local Emiratis – it is likely that its police has enjoyed the best possible training, guidance and help from foreign security bodies.

 

 

“Dubai is most interested to clear it’s name and reputation as a city of crimes and assassinations, and it will surely do its utmost to solve Mabhouh’s murder,” a local hotelier told The Jerusalem Post this week. Besides, now it’s also a matter of pride: Somebody dares to do something like this on Dubai’s territory? It’s not an easy thing to let go.

Israel has been molesting the Arab world for at least 6 decades. The Dubai police force could neither restore the lost pride nor level the playing field.

 

"Arab world's best police force" kulaha. As if that's saying much. LOL.

excellent tone to the language used Castro

 

Bravo! some realism at last.
