The man on the left above, Christopher Lockwood, is a suspect in the assassination of a top Hamas leader in Dubai last January. On the right is man named Yehuda Lustig, who supposedly died in the Yom Kippur War. Or are they the same person? That’s the question Chip Cummins and Alistair MacDonald try to answer in this story about chasing the the people responsible for the Dubai murder. It’s a reminder that we live in a world where a team of thirty assassins, likely backed by some government, can descend on a city, murder a man — and escape without a trace. You get those chills, too?
