The Worst Terrorist You Never Heard Of
"With all pride, we declare a great jihadist leader of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon joining the martyrs," said a statement carried on Hizbullah's television network. "The brother commander hajj Imad Mughniyeh became a martyr at the hands of the Zionist Israelis." The announcement, Prothero noted, used precisely the same language as when the group announced the death of Sayyed Abbas Moussawi, then Hizbullah's supreme commander, in an Israeli airstrike in 1992.
The key question, of course, is what role, if any, U.S. or Israeli intelligence may have played in the explosion that killed Mughniyeh. U.S. officials today refused to comment and the Israelis denied they were responsible. But the speculation is likely to go on for some time and could point to many suspects with possible motives. Prothero told NEWSWEEK that Mughniyeh's car, which was blown up in the explosion that killed him, had been parked in a lot in a Damascus suburb—next door to a building known to have been used by Syrian military intelligence.

Comment: nawawimohamad you have got to be kidding. You can't be serious. Mughniyeh was NEVER EVER going to be a CIA mole. He was an Islamic terrorist sworn to destroy both the US and ISRAEL. Arabs are whining that the the US killed him which is absolutely ludicrous. The US and ISRAEL don't do car bombs. We have a jet drop a bomb on your head!! These Islamic idiots kill each other all the time. Routine cleaning of the gene pool.

Comment: Bipartisan Congressional allegiance to obstruction of justice in the Executive Branch is a Congress failed in its duty to protect, serve, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
