Interesting angle as you say but perhaps not that far fetched. Just coincident that Iran has announced that it will increase its Uranium enrichment program?
Dubai has been under pressure for some time to provide account details of individuals and companies in the past that have been suspected of terrorist links. The UK foreign office even increased the security threat in Dubai last year which was seen as a tit-for-tat response to Dubai's lack of cooperation.
The timing of the debt default announcement, the computer problems on the FTSE limiting the fallout... there is more to this than we know but Dubai is going to be cut down to size one way or another.
