Two brothers held in Lebanon as Israeli spies are linked to a team responsible for the assassination of a notorious terrorist leader, Lebanese security sources have claimed.
Ali Jarrah, 50, a Lebanese citizen, and his brother Youssef, from Marj in the Bekaa valley, were arrested last week by the Lebanese army, which charged them with espionage. A third suspect has also been held, sources close to the investigation said. All three face the death penalty.
The spy ring has been linked to the assassination of Imad Mughniyeh, a leading figure in Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shi’ite militia, who was killed in a bomb blast in Damascus in February. Hezbollah’s leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, blamed Israel for the attack and vowed to take revenge.
Mughniyeh has long been a target for Israel and America. He was responsible for bombing the US marine barracks and embassy in Beirut in 1983, in which more than 350 died, and was behind an attack on the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992, which killed 29.
One source suggested the brothers may have been “spotters”, part of an observation team that monitored Mughniyeh’s movements shortly before his death. Others said there was no direct evidence of this. According to the Lebanese army, Jarrah and his brother were found to possess “communication devices and other sophisticated equipment”.
Lebanese investigators impounded a Mitsubishi Pajero 4x4 parked in front of Jarrah’s home. The vehicle was said to be fitted with advanced surveillance equipment.

Welcome to Hell, asshole.

Damn...some GOOD news for a change....
.........and where is the problem?????? Let the Mossad et al take care of business. They have balls bigger than basketballs.
Good for them. Atleast one nation will continue to stay on the offensive. Why? Bc they realize their existence depends on it. 63 million Americans have not yet.
Certainly bigger balls than Obama.
Mugniyeh wasn’t murdered, he was killed. You don’t murder animals- you kill them.
Whether they did the good deed or not I’d hate to be them. Prayers for them.
On second thought that’s an insult to animals. Let me just say Mugniyeh’s carbon credit was cashed in.
Murder? That is the bastardization of the word and derogatory to anyone who has had a loved one murdered.
What am I saying?
Hopefully Mossad can get soje agents in there to break them out, kill their captors and leave an F222k you note for the Lebanese government.
It may also mean a mole gave them up, and that mole needs to be found.
Mughniyeh was not assassinated, he was exterminated. That’s what you do to vermin.
A scumbag gets assassinated and htis is news? Goodbye scum. No tears shed here. The day after Barack Obama was elected Palestine ‘celebrated’ by launching 20 Kassam rockets into Israel, yet narry a word is mentioned about it and now some scumbag terrorist is assassinated and it’s an international incident?
His has not dropped yet.

If they haven't yet they probably never will. What will happen when certain elements in The World tests him?
