Two more UK passports now linked. The BBC helps to corroborate accusations at the time of the killing, but little reported in the West, that Mabhouh had been tortured to death.
Another two British passports have been linked to the assassination of a Hamas militant in Dubai.
Foreign Office Minister Chris Bryant insisted the government had had no prior knowledge of the killing or use of the passports.
It was already known six fake UK passports were among those used by the alleged killers of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.
Earlier, Foreign Secretary David Miliband urged Israel to co-operate with a UK investigation.
The Israeli secret service Mossad has been widely accused of carrying out last month's killing but Israel has repeatedly asserted there was no proof its agents were involved.
Mr Mabhouh, one of the founders of Hamas's military wing, was found dead in a Dubai hotel room on 20 January and an autopsy report said he had been electrocuted and then suffocated.
