| US websites used in Mabhuh murder |
WASHINGTON US websites that allow employers to transfer money to far-flung employees may have been used to secretly finance the assassination of Hamas leader Mahmud Al Mabhuh in Dubai, a US newspaper reported on Saturday.
The Wall Street Journal reported that US investigators cooperating with Dubai police believe several US-based companies were used to cover the tracks of whoever funded the operation.
The newspaper, citing unnamed investigators, said there was no indication that companies used to transfer money to the assassins knew of their role in the plot. “Instead, US investigators believe, suspects might have posed as freelancers in order to get money in a way that obscured their funding source, and used the money for operational expenses, such as buying plane tickets,” the Journal said.
