Two more British passports have been linked to the assassination team that killed a Hamas militant in Dubai.

Two additional Irish passports were also linked to the killing. Yesterday in Brussels, Foreign Secretary David Miliband held a 45-minute meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, to discuss allegations that the death of Hamas’s Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was the work of Mossad agents.

After the talks, Mr Miliband said: “I obviously went through with Mr Lieberman what the importance is of the investigation the prime minister has announced and the importance we attach to Israel's co-operation with that investigation.

“It is very important that people know we continue to take this issue very seriously indeed. There is very real concern across Europe.”
