(41 minutes later) | |
A fourth Australian has been named in connection with the assassination of a senior Hamas commander in Dubai, Australian officials say. | |
A false passport bearing the name of Joshua Krycer was used by a suspect who provided surveillance for the the killers of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. | |

It has been reported that the real Mr Krycer lives and works in Israel. | |
"There is no information to suggest that Mr Krycer, as with any of the other three Australian passport-holders, was involved in any way, other than as victims of identity fraud," Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said. | "There is no information to suggest that Mr Krycer, as with any of the other three Australian passport-holders, was involved in any way, other than as victims of identity fraud," Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said. |
