Dubai's police chief has vowed to resign if DNA tests on Israeli suspects prove that they have not been behind the killing of a Hamas commander in his hotel room in January.
Police Chief Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim said on Friday that Israel should allow the Emirates to conduct DNA tests on Israelis that Dubai identifies as suspects in the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.
"I call on Israel to bring the suspects for DNA tests, so it can be compared to DNA found at the scene," Khalfan said.
"If it turns out that the results do not match, I will resign. You can lie about anything, but not about DNA," he added.
Khalfan said the investigators have collected crime scene DNA samples and fingerprints of some of the suspects.
"There are samples from a number of them (suspects) which they left behind. We have these samples, and when they are arrested ... the fingerprints and DNA samples will be used," the police chief told Al-jazeera.
Dubai authorities have accused Israel's Mossad spy agency of being behind the murder, and have identified at least 26 suspects of a hit squad that traveled to Dubai on fake identities and forged European and Australian passports to kill al-Mabhouh in January.
Israel has so far refused to confirm or deny involvement in the assassination of the Hamas commander.
