This is just a quick link to follow -- an "aside." These are links to interesting things that, for one reason or another, I didn't place into a full posting. Click the link to visit the full article. Go to the blog index for a regular listing of posts.

Haaretz: Report: Widow of slain Hezbollah terrorist Imad Mughniyah blames Syria for killing - '..."The Syrian traitors are responsible for his death," Army Radio quoted Mughniyah's widow as telling a press conference in Tehran. "Damascus' refusal to allow Iran to investigate the incident is further proof," she said. According to the report, rumors abounded in the months prior to Mughniyah's death regarding a rift between himself and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The rumors were that Mughniyah was attempting to take over command of the militant organization...'

For the record, when LGF put a post up on this a few days ago I said it is possible, I cited Israel National News article I believe quoting an American CIA official I believe,
that Hezbollah and Syria could have been responsible. http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=28973#c0230
Many of the commenters asked why that it wouldn't make sense?

But I remembered that another former ally of Syria, Elie Hobeika was killed when he was supposedly going to testify at the joke of a trial in Belgium about Sharon's role in Sabra and Shatilla. Remember, Hobeika and his men were the actual Falange that went in there and did the murdering. His bodyguard wrote a book

around the same time stating that Hobeika set up Sharon and that he was already double working with Syria at that point.

The article presents information about the book "From Israel to Damascus: The Painful Road of Blood, Betrayal and Deception," by Robert Maroun Hatem. The Lebanese authorities have banned the book but is a hot seller in Amazon. The book tells about Lebanon's warlords Elias Hobeika's purported crimes and misdeeds, during the civil war, which began in 1975 and ended in 1990 and afterward. Hatem not only hits out at a prop of the postwar establishment, he implicitly questions the foundations on which Lebanon's postwar contract rests.

Hobeika was taken out many believe by Syria as well and he was an "ally" of Syria after being an enemy of theirs...

In Lebaonon its "like sand in an hourglass these are the days of Lebanon".... people change sides and go from 'good guy' to 'bad guy' more than in a campy cheesey soap opera.
