Mossad identity theft?
The Tom Clancy-esque assassination of a Hamas commander presumably by Mossad (the Israeli intelligence agency) in Dubai recently caused some Israeli citizens to be concerned about identity theft.
At least seven people who live in Israel share names with suspects identified by Dubai police. One, a British-Israeli citizen named Melvyn Adam Mildiner, said the passport photo on the Dubai wanted flier was not him but the passport number was correct. He also denied having been to Dubai.
Another of the seven, Stephen Hodes, denied any link to the case in an interview with Israel Radio and said he, too, had never visited Dubai.
“I’m shocked. I don’t know how they got to me. Those aren’t my photographs, of course,” Hodes said. “I don’t know how they got to my details, who took them. …. I’m simply afraid. These are powerful forces.”
While we’re at it, I’ll post the picture again. It feels less Tom Clancy to me and more Wes Anderson.
