Six British-Israelis say they are not the men pictured in the suspects' passports

The international police organisation Interpol has placed on its wanted list 11 people suspected of killing a Hamas commander in Dubai.

Interpol has posted the photographs and names it suspects the individuals fraudulently used in the case.

Dubai's police chief says he is 99% sure Israeli agents were involved in Mahmoud al-Mabhouh's death, but Israel says there is no proof.

The UK has expressed "outrage" that six British passports were used.

Interpol has issued Red Notices for the suspects. Although not an international arrest warrant, a Red Notice requests that the suspects be arrested pending extradition.

Interpol said it believed the suspects had stolen the identities of real people and the names were used as aliases.

It said it was posting the photos and names "in order to limit the ability of accused murderers from travelling freely using the same false passports".

Interpol Secretary General Ronald K Noble said: "[We do] not believe that we know the true identities of these wanted persons."
