Quote:The secret service hit squad blamed for assassinating a Hamas commander were carrying a total of five Irish passports, it has emerged.
Dubai authorities have warned diplomats in Ireland two more identity papers were recovered after the murder of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh by suspected Israeli agents.
Israel's Ambassador to Ireland Dr Zion Evrony met senior government officials in Dublin over the controversial killing but insisted he knows nothing about it.
Dr Evrony also said he was under no obligation to address the international incident in public.
"I don't know anything about the event - beyond that it is not customary to share the content of diplomatic meetings," he said.
A Foreign Affairs spokesman confirmed two more Irish passports had been linked to the hit squad.
Officials have tracked down the first three people named on forged documents - Evan Dennings, Gail Folliard and Kevin Daveron - two of whom were due to travel this weekend.
The first three forged documents carried authentic passport numbers but the names did not match.
Officials were tonight attempting to establish if names and numbers were genuine and to track down the unsuspecting citizens.
Micheal Martin, Foreign Affairs Minister, said with Interpol on red alert for 11 suspected agents at least two Irish citizens would likely have been arrested as they attempted to fly over the next 48 hours.
The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
