Investigators now reckon up to 17 agents may have taken part in the suspected Israeli plot. Newly released CCTV footage shows her apparently staking out the hotel on the night of the murder with her face partially hidden under a large sun hat. A man alongside her also has his features concealed by a hat. The news emerged as Gordon Brown promised a probe into how six of the gang had fake UK passports.

"It is necessary for us to accumulate that … [Read more...] about Hamas chief assassination: Hunt for second female suspect in Dubai hit
