The beautiful 'assassin': 'Hit squad with British passports accused of executing senior Hamas leader

Claims that British and Irish passport holders are among an alleged 11-man hit squad wanted in Dubai for the apparent assassination of a Hamas commander are tonight being investigated by London and Dublin.
Dubai police say the main suspect is Peter Elvinger, 49, who holds a French passport. He was the gang’s logistical co-ordinator and the one who booked room 237 in Al Bustan Rotana, down the corridor from the victim’s room – 230.
The other suspects were identified as Irish nationals Gail Folliard, Kevin Daveron and Evan Dennings; British nationals Paul John Keely, Stephen Daniel Hodes, Melvyn Adam Mildiner, Jonathan Louis Graham, James Leonard Clarke and Michael Lawrence Barney. Also wanted is Michael Bodenheimer, a German national.

Who knew we were still so deadly! :eek:
I guess that Irish secret service will be using that extra revenue they have left over, a lot more now.

Cool, real life "Expendables"

We prefer the term 'ninjas' thank you very much.

phantom_lord · 15-02-2010 10:58PM

seems having an irish passport seems useful for this line of work, didn't a few of them turn up in various things in afghanistan?

I knew I could be badass

Where do you sign up?

Honestly though, how do these people end up in this line of work?

There's no money for terrorists in Ireland these days.

Seriously though, groups here have been involved with foreign 'organizations' for a while

galwayrush · 15-02-2010 11:35PM

The Irishmen mentioned will now get ****ed by the revenue people.:rolleyes:

i doubt that's what this is though

If this proves to be Mossad the Israeli ambassador should be ****ed out on his ear and their embassy closed down.

Senna · 15-02-2010 11:38PM

Folliard, Daveron and Dennings.

Don't sound too Irish.

I'm sure theres artistic ways of assassinating someone... they'll eventually get away with tax.

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 15-02-2010 11:43PM

Seriously though, they obviously did it for the money

You spend a bit of time in defence forces, you are an excellent soldier and have a wide range of experience. But you're earning ****

There are plenty of mercenary firms, security work as they would usually put it, from working in a few of these you could get a wide range of contacts then someone makes a proposition and offers you a bag load of cash

I'd say most of them would jump at the chance, might be the last time you'd have to enter a conflict if the price was right

Them there dissidents have nothing to do these days.

Sacred_git · 15-02-2010 11:46PM

I read somewhere a couple of years ago that one of the top assasins (if there is such a thing), was Irish and living in eastern Europe!! Can't remember where i read it!

ejmaztec · 15-02-2010 11:47PM

Could be Day of The Jackal type identity theft and bogus passports. They could have slipped up and not had rashers for breakfast.

Check out this video link of the police presentation: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/babylonbeyond/2010/02/dubai-police-release-photos-of-11-wanted-for-hamas-killing-hint-at-israel-involvement.html

I also read that they used wigs and fake beards.

Morlar · 15-02-2010 11:50PM

I'd be interested to know if the israeli's faked the Irish passports or just decided to use jews with genuine Irish passports in order to carry out this murder. Either way it makes it more dangerous for Irish people travelling in the middle east. Not that this seems to be a big concern for them ;

It'll not do the already struggling Judo-Irish friendship any good atawl atawl

*puts down nunchuks*

Of course the assassins were Irish, just like the perpetrators of 9/11 were Saudi.

The Irish passport system is easily circumvented and has been a favourite of clandestine operatives for years.

Here is the picture

if you zoom in on that you can see the Irish harp on several of the passport photos (5,8 & 9).

Nodin · 16-02-2010 12:16AM

Amazing how little attention 'assasination' gets, depending on who is doing it.

They're the old, pre-plastic/chip passports. They're probably stolen ones with the picture changed.

Ravage1616 · 16-02-2010 12:20AM

They must be using the old style passports as well! All new passport photos are in black and white!

Shekamu · 16-02-2010 12:36AM

One of the guys with a British passport has a toothy grin. That's not allowed in new passport photo regulations.

The whole gang looks Israeli anyway.

IvySlayer · 16-02-2010 12:51AM

Wasn't the one who tried to shoot Hitler Irish?

She missed though. You may of known that,

hinault · 16-02-2010 12:54AM

Irish passports were used (abused) during the Iran-Contra affair also.
(for those of you old enough to remember).

Bonito · 16-02-2010 12:56AM

Isn't/Wasn't Makikomi an Irish assassin :cool:

rednik · 16-02-2010 12:57AM

Ciaran Hinds worked for mossad, at least in the film Munich.:D The Israelis are the best at this, keeping everyone guessing and whispering and in the meantime their agents return to their normal life until called upon again.
