Australian authorities announced they had identified the fourth Australian, whose passport was copied and used as a cover by suspects involved in the killing of Hamas commander Mahmoud al Mabhouh in Dubai.
 

Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said Tuesday that Joshua Krycer was the fourth Australian whose name had been added to the expanded Interpol Red List, seeking to arrest the suspects involved n the Dubai slaying.
 

“There is no information to suggest that Mr. Krycer, as with any other of the three Australian passport holders, was involved in any way, other than as the victims of identity fraud," Smith said in a statement.
 

Smith said Australian Federal Police and the Australian Passport Office had determined that a fake copy of Krycer’s passport and three other Australian nationals’ passports had been presented in Dubai in connection with Mabhouh’s death.
 

Local Israeli media reports said Tuesday that Krycer worked in a hospital in Jerusalem.

Authorities in Dubai have accused Israel’s Mossad of perpetrating the killing, and released details of 27 suspects carrying European and Australian passports who they claim were members of a hit team sent to kill the Hamas commander.
 

Israel has neither confirmed nor denied the allegations, and British and Australian investigators have met in Israel with nationals whose passports were fraudulently used.
 

On Monday, Interpol expanded the names of suspects tagged on its Red List to 27 and said they are launching a joint investigation with the Dubai authorities.
