DUBAI, May 11 (Reuters) - Dubai police are seeking at least
two Canadians and one Iranian in connection with the fatal
shooting last week of a real estate investor in an upscale
neighbourhood, media reported on Wednesday.
In a killing linked to organised crime, the Turkish citizen
of Iranian origin was shot nine times in his car in the Dubai
Marina on May 4, the daily Emarat al-Youm cited police chief
Khamis Matar al-Muzaina as saying.
Muzaina said police had identified suspects involved in
attack, though some had left the country, according to the
newspaper.
One was an Iranian citizen and others were Canadian
citizens, he said. The police had provided information about the
suspects to the Canadian authorities, he was quoted as saying.
Muzaina declined to comment when reached by phone, referring
Reuters to the report in Emarat al-Youm.
The gunmen used silenced pistols, and the crime was only
discovered later when a security guard discovered the body in
the car, parked in a residential building, Emarat al-Youm cited
police sources as saying.
Street crime is rare in Dubai, one of the seven emirates in
the United Arab Emirates federation. Walking around the Marina,
it is not unusual to see wallets laid on cafe tables and keys
left in car ignitions.
Nevertheless, authorities periodically uncover crimes
including money laundering, drug smuggling and human
trafficking, newspaper report.
The emirate has also seen assassinations of political
figures in recent years, including a senior Hamas official and a
Chechen rebel leader.
