Who Was Imad Mughniyeh?

Report: Palestinians arrested in Mugniyah assassination investigation

A Lebanese security sources said Friday that a joint investigation by Syria, Iran and Hizbullah into the assassination of senior Hizbullah commander Imad Mugniyah was well under way and suspects had been arrested in Damascus.

The suspects arrested were mostly Palestinians residing in Syria, the Lebanese source said.

I'm guessing these are probably people indirectly involved. They may have been providing assistance to Mossad or given help bypassing Mugniyah's security.

And about the claim...

The report claimed the video showed the explosion of a booby-trapped car parked next to Mughniyeh's vehicle.

It looks to me like the explosion was in the car...that Mughniyeh was in.

I think Iran did it. They have to sever loose strings before they are taken down.

Syria knows they’re going down a dead-end road with their Iranian alliance.

"Let me guess. It starts with an "I" and ends with an "L"."

You clever fellow, you are so right! The purpetrator is.....(drum roll)....

"It's Lurker L"!

Syria announces that it has irrefutable evidence that the killers of Moughniyah are the International Jew and the Evil Imperialist Yankee. The Syrian Ministry of Propaganda then released the following illustration of the accused perps:

Let me guess. It starts with an "I" and ends with an "L".

Too easy. Remarkably enough, compounding a bad couple weeks for the Mormons, Syria will name THEM as the killer. :)

Who saw that coming? :)

Mr Moualem declined to say whether the security forces had detained anyone in connection with the attack or name the chief suspects. "I cannot comment to preserve the secrecy of the investigation," he said.

They won't name Israel, unless they're already planning to go to war with Israel. I don't think they are ready or willing to go to war over this.

So what they'll do, is blame somebody from Lebanon or even Syria itself, who is an agent of a group that they will claim is funded or supported by the US or Israel. And then they'll go after this group, etc....

But what they'll really be doing, is going after the opponents of Bashir Assad. This will be Assad's excuse for purging the opposition without having to admit there is one.

I read a report about 8 hours ago where a journalist talked to a lady near the site of the explosion; she said the police asked fewer questions of her than she’d have even asked had she been investigating. The dictatorship in Damascus will use this as a pretext for its ongoing war with Israel. Assad’s dictatorship should be destroyed for the blood it has on its hands. That blood includes Israelis, Lebanese, Americans, Iraqis, and our coalition partners in Iraq. Any hostile acts by Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran against any of our allies should lead to a massive and unremitting aerial onslaught against those aggressors to destroy their military infrastructures and their abilities to conduct war, with the specific minimum goal of not stopping until we have assured the destruction of their missiles and nuclear weapons programs. Regime change should be accomplished by those in Syria and Iran who prefer self-rule to the squalor of Syria's Baathist regime and Iran's mad mullah theocracy.

it should only be so.

I sure would like to take credit for this POS’s death.

Car bombs aren’t really the Israeli style...

There’s a train of thought in another FR thread that the Iranians did it to cover up their involvement with 9/11 - through Mughniyeh.

One thought immediately came to mind:

- "The Ezekiel Option" - by Joel C. Rosenberg, basically Russia and Iran stage an "incident" and blame it on USA and Israel to start an all-out campaign on Israel. Remember, Ahmadinejad has stated that he wishes to start events rolling which will bring forth the 12th imam.

Very interesting.

[jveritas]

If the Syrians will be stupid enough to try to do something against Israel the terrorist regime in Damascus will be destroyed once and for all.

[elhombrelibre]

I certainly hope so; it is long overdue and well deserved.
