Claims that British and Irish passport holders are part of a hit squad wanted for an apparent assassination in Dubai are being investigated by London and Dublin.
The names, photographs and nationalities of the 11 members of the alleged gang were released at a press conference held by Dubai's chief of police.
He claimed the team, disguised in wigs, fake beards and tennis clothes, killed Hamas leader Mahmoud al Mabhouh in his hotel room last month.
The police said a female assassin entered his room by posing as a member of hotel staff and put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.
The wanted group includes six British passport holders, three Irish, one French and an alleged German national

Lt Gen Tamim added that requests for arrest warrants have been made with Interpol.
The Foreign Office says it is "seeking further information" following the claims, while Dublin says the Irish are "awaiting clarification".
Speaking to journalists, the police chief outlined how he believed the assassination was carried out.
He showed CCTV footage of the alleged hit squad arriving on separate planes the day before al Mabhouh died

They booked into different hotels and disguised themselves to watch the Hamas commander check in to his hotel before booking a nearby room of their own.
Five hours after arriving in Dubai, al Mabhouh was ambushed and killed

All the suspects left the United Arab Emirates within 19 hours of arriving, it has been claimed.
Last month Hamas admitted al Mabhouh, a founder member of Hamas' military wing, was involved in the kidnapping and killing of two Israeli soldiers in 1989.
They added he had played a "continuous role in supporting his brothers in the resistance inside the occupied homeland".
Hamas have accused Israel's secret service of orchestrating the hit.
Mahmoud al Mabhouh was one of the founders of Hamas' military wing
"We in Hamas hold the Zionist enemy responsible for the criminal assassination of our brother," read a statement on Hamas' Palestinian information centre website.
Lt Gen Tamim did not blame Israel directly, but said it was possible that "leaders of certain countries gave orders to their intelligence agents to kill".
Hamas officials have yet to reveal why their commander was in Dubai.
There have been suggestions he was en route to Iran, which is accused of providing financial support to Hamas militants in the past
