Report: Hamas Says Jordan or Egypt Behind Dubai Hit
The Al-Quds Al-Araby daily reported that Mahmoud Nasser, a member of Hamas' political bureau, suspects the security forces of an Arab state were behind the assassination of senior commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai.
He said Mabhouh was likely being tracked by agents from Jordan and Egypt prior to the killing.

Hamas Shows Signs of Vulnerability -Janine Zacharia
Struggling to maintain its strength in the West Bank amid a crackdown by Israel and Palestinian police, Hamas has been reeling from the assassination of one of its leaders, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.
The high-level penetration of Hamas is a "catastrophe for Hamas," said Mkhaimar Abusada, a political science professor at Al Azhar University in Gaza.

UPDATE:
Israel Was Not Alone in Wanting to "Detonate" the Hamas Missile Man
-Stephen King
The Dubai authorities themselves have not provided any forensic evidence that points to Israel, just a series of photos and videos of random hotel guests. Besides, the persons shown in these images are not shown committing any crime. Nor has anyone come forward and said they recognize any of these people.
It does make you wonder. There is an almighty stink about "passport fraud," but no Western government has much to say about the fact that the terrorist in charge of illegally smuggling missiles from Iran to Hamas apparently had an open invite to hang out in Dubai. Funny that, isn't it?
Mabhouh was on a mission to acquire Iranian weapons for use against civilians. He was a combatant. Unlike his victims, he was fair game for whoever crept into his hotel room that night.
