Dubai to have security cameras 'everywhere'

Dubai, where a top Hamas commander was killed in January in an assassination blamed on Israel's Mossad spy agency, is to have security cameras "everywhere," the police chief was quoted as saying on Sunday.

The bustling Gulf city currently has 25,000 security cameras, but "surveillance needs to be ramped up to meet the growing requirements of an expanding city," Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan told The National newspaper.

"We need to work according to a well-studied strategic plan and not only react to events as they come along... We will have cameras everywhere," said Khalfan of the 136-million-dollar (110-million-euro) project.

Hamas commander Mahmud al-Mabhuh was killed at a luxury hotel in the emirate, and Khalfan said police were able to track down the suspected killers with the help of security cameras.
