My Comment: I know that the Arab media is playing up this story, but I live in Canada and I have good contacts within the government .... in short, they are all telling me the same thing .... there is no truth to this story.

Does it seem to you like a continuation of the spat over landing rights and the recent disagreement between Harper's government and UAE?
Thank you Rontal for your comment.
That was my first thought, but Dubai's Police Chief is an independent person, and I just do not see him as someone who can be manipulated by the Dubai Government.
Then again .... I could be wrong.
By now in Israel, Dakhi Halfan has garnered the reputation of an attention seeking clown once his investigation shifted from the surreal to the utterly bizarre.
He sounds like a bit of a loose cannon.
I doubt he will get first hand information of such 'diplomatic' issues... he will have to be informed via intermediaries.
