| 'Mossad agent' arrested in Poland |
| 2010-06-12 |
| POLISH authorities have arrested at the request of Germany a suspected Mossad agent thought to have played a role in the Dubai assassination of a Hamas commander. "He was arrested in Warsaw and is suspected of being involved in illegally obtaining a (German) passport," a spokesman for German federal prosecution said, confirming a report in German magazine Der Spiegel. According to an article, the suspect identified as Uri Brodsky was arrested in early June on arrival at Warsaw's airport on suspicions that he helped a member of the hit squad get a German passport in June 2009. Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a founder of the military wing of the Islamist Hamas movement which controls Gaza, was found dead in his room in the Al Bustan Rotana hotel near Dubai airport on January 20. Dubai police have released extensive surveillance camera footage they say shows the team of suspects from the hit squad they have linked to the Mossad. |

| #5 Poland is probably stuck having to deal with Germany's requests until they decide to leave the EU, or it collapses on its own. |

| #4 Spies are subject to different risks than those who openly wear the uniform, even the spies of countries we like. At least he wasn't shot immediately, and Israel has the chance to bargain for him. |

| #3 I didn't realize murder was illegal in a moozlem country. Then again, he was arrested for fraudulently obtaining a german passport, not murder. |
