Hamas Arms Dealer May Have Been Killed By Palestinian Arabs

While Hamas is pointing a finger at Israel's Mossad in connection with the assassination of Hamas arms dealer Mahmoud Mabhouh, Dubai authorities are also looking into a different possibility:

Israeli officials continue to keep silent regarding suspicions that its spy agency Mossad organized the hit. Some said that last month's assassination had the hallmarks of a Mossad operation while others wondered if it wasn’t staged to look that way. Meanwhile, the arrest of two Palestinians suspected of meeting with one of the 11 suspects could prove to be an embarrassment for Palestinians. Rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas are both distancing themselves from the  arrested men, though neither side will release their names.

On the one hand, maybe Fatah is behind the assassination:

Hamas is accusing the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority of collaborating with Israel in the murder of one of its senior operatives.

Then again, on the other hand:

But now some are wondering if the men won’t turn out to be from Hamas. Palestinian Authority officials have essentially dared Hamas to reveal the names publicly. Meanwhile, Dubai officials are refusing to allow Hamas to take part in the probe.

Plenty of Muslim trust and brotherhood to go around..
