Britain is to expel an Israeli diplomat over the cloning of British passports linked to the hit-squad killing of a Hamas commander, the BBC has learned.

Foreign Secretary David Miliband is due to make a statement to Parliament later.

Israel has denied allegations that its agents were behind the killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, in a Dubai hotel room in January.
Mr Miliband demanded that Tel Aviv co-operate fully with the investigation.

Twelve fake British passports were used in the killing of Mr al-Mabhouh, the founder of Hamas's military wing, in his hotel room in Dubai on 19 January.

5. Miliband: Israel Behind Dubai Hit Passports

Katie Cassidy and Miranda Richardson, Sky News Online

The Foreign Secretary has said there are "compelling reasons" to believe Israel is behind the cloned British passports used by the alleged killers of a Hamas official in Dubai.

David Miliband told MPs: "Given that this was a very sophisticated operation, in which high-quality forgeries were made, the Government judges it highly likely that the forgeries were made by a state intelligence service.

"Taking this together with other inquiries and the link to Israel established by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca), we have concluded there are compelling reasons to believe Israel was responsible for the misuse of the British passports."

Mr Miliband also confirmed a member of the Israeli embassy was being expelled from the UK at his request.

6. I just never understand all the provocative things Israel does.

7. Also all the out and out STUPID things Israel does.

8. Yeah. It's not like Israelis live in some tiny little country surrounded by

Muslims who hate them and who have pledged to drive them into the sea or something. What gives? :shrug:

9. Seriously

Those awful Muslims are so pissed, you'd think the Israelis were living in their home!

What gives, did Islamic people control that land for several consecutive centuries before 1947? Surely not!
