| 'Israel benefited Rafiq Hariri murder' |

| [Iran Press TV] The former head of Israel's Military Intelligence says Israel benefited from the liquidation of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri. Major General Amos Yadlin said on Wednesday that Israel has been able to launch more than one operation in Leb following Hariri's killing. In 2005, Hariri was killed in a massive car bombing in the capital city of Beirut. He also admitted that Tel Aviv carried out the terror liquidation of Hezbullies's commander Imad Mughniyeh in Syria two years ago. The former official noted that Israel restored a huge number of espionage networks inside Leb and managed to assassinate Mughniyeh through the very same spy rings. Yadlin claimed Mughniyeh's murder helped Israel enter a new stage in its conflict with Hezbullies, adding that the Israeli Military Intelligence should proceed with such plans in Leb. Earlier reports had revealed that chief of Israeli spy agency Mossad Meir Dagan personally planned the liquidation at orders by former Israeli premier Ehud Olmert. Mughniyeh, who was one of the most prominent Hezbullies figures, was assassinated in a car bomb kaboom in the Syrian capital on February 12, 2008. Hezbullies held the Israeli regime responsible for the liquidation of Mughniyeh, but the regime's officials at the time denied having any role in the liquidation. |
