| Details Of Mughniyeh Assassination By Mossad | |
| 2009-02-06 | |
The Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth published details regarding the assassination of leading Hizbullah military leader Imad Mughniyeh, explaining that the hands that placed the deadly blow up charge at Mughniyeh's vehicle to the right of the driver's headrest were solely Israeli.
The paper said that Mughniyeh was assassinated because he committed one mistake more than required. The fact that it was common knowledge that he would be visiting Iran's new ambassador to Damascus Hujat al-Islam Mossawi, on the occasion of the 29th anniversary of the Islamic revolution on February 12. The paper added that the Israeli assassination team sneaked into Syria from Iraqi-Kurdistan in three vehicles and monitored Mughniyeh the night before his assassination. According to Yedioth Ahronoth, the Israeli team reached Mughniyeh's Mitsubishi Pajero and exchanged the headrest with another loaded with explosives. The Israeli team did not use a time bomb because they feared unforeseen sudden changes. Once Mughniyeh was seen seated next to the driver, the headrest blew up by remote control, the paper said. Yedioth Ahronoth added that Israel fears Hizbullah and Iran would take revenge for Mughniyeh's killing. The first anniversary of the assassination is soon approaching on February 12. | |

| #4 Y'know, this sounds an awfully lot like wishful thinking on the part of the Israeli newspaper. There are far too many loooonnngg strings hanging out of this narative that don't seem to be reasonable. Begin with the "commenced with the arrest of Ali Moussa Daqdouq a Hizbullah 'foreign operations' official by Israeli security close to Karbala, Iraq in January 2007." I can't see a bunch of Israelis running around the countryside in Iraq, even if they ARE Mossad agents. Secondly, IIRC, Iraqi Kurdistan doesn't have a common border with Syria - Anbar Province does. Frankly, I think the whole thing is a sun-dream. I'm sure the Mossad had a hand in his killing, but I don't believe this fairy-tale. |
