Canada makes arrests in Hamas chief’s killing: Dubai

Canada has arrested a man suspected of involvement in the assassination of a senior Hamas leader in Dubai, said the Gulf emirate's police chief on Tuesday, criticizing Ottawa's lack of transparency on the matter.

Canada actually informed Emirati officials of the arrest in June, but requested that they not announce it, Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim told Al Arabiya television.

"I am astonished. Why this attempt to cover up on this issue? We must act transparent, reliably and quickly in such cases," said Khalfan.
