Syria Arrests Palestinian Suspects In Mughniyeh Assassination - With Video
J-Post:
Syrian security forces have arrested several Palestinians suspects in connection with the assassination of Hizbullah commander Imad Mughniyeh, a Lebanese security source told Reuters on Friday.
The source added that Hizbullah had appointed a successor to Mughniyeh within hours of his death in a car bomb blast in the Syrian capital.
Earlier Friday, Iran’s state news agency reported that Syria and Iran agreed to conduct a joint investigation into the assassination of Mughniyeh,
An Iranian television station aired what it said was mobile phone video footage of the car bomb blast that killed Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh in the Syrian capital, Damascus.
The grainy, dark images appeared to have been taken moments after the blast Tuesday night. They show a vehicle engulfed in flames on a street at night time and several people, apparently bystanders, are seen running by. It cannot be seen whether anyone is in the vehicle in the images, taken from a distance and lasting a few seconds.
The video was shown on Iran’s state-run Arabic channel, Al-Alam. The station did not say how it obtained the footage.
ranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki met in Damascus on Friday with Syrian Vice President Farouk al-Sharaa to discuss the assassination. Iran and Hizbullah have accused Israel of killing Mughniyeh, and Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah vowed in a eulogy to the slain militant on Thursday that his Shiite guerrilla group would retaliate against Israeli interests anywhere in the world.
In Teheran, Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Reza Sheik Attar said that during Mottaki’s visit to Damascus, which began Thursday, Iran and Syria had agreed to form a joint investigation team to “look into the root causes and dimensions of the assassination to identify the perpetrators of this dirty crime,” the state IRNA news agency reported.

February 15th, 2008 at 10:15 amBurn in hell bitch. Palestinians arrested? LOL. I thought the Israelis did it? Or was it Syria> Hmmm…the plot thickens. Of couse the Gestapo in Syria can coerce anyone to admitting anything. Think torture doesn’t work? Try again. Fuck what McCain says. Go ask the poor devils that are currently in Syrian Gestapo HQ, if they think that torture doesn’t work.
Me thinks a public “nifong” show trial is next on the horizon blaming Israel and presenting bogus evidence against them. Another one of those “any excuse to kill Jews” kind of shuck and jive game.
Fuck you Syria. Fuck you Iran. Fuck all you terrorist goat-fuckers.
