Who killed Mughniyah?
by Masoud Kazemzadeh

Written by Gabriel Emile Eid, Fabia Bristow, and Masoud Kazemzadeh

Imad Mughniyah, one of the world’s foremost terrorists, was reportedly killed late Tuesday night February 12, 2008 Damascus time.[1] No one has yet claimed responsibility. In this article, we discuss who might have eliminated Mughniyah. We look at motives, capabilities, and a history of similar actions. We see seven possibilities: 1- Israeli government; 2- Syrian government; 3- U.S. government; 4- the fundamentalist regime ruling Iran; 5- professional assassin; 6- Mughniyah’s rivals inside the Hezbollah; and 7- Mughniyah faked his death.

 

(1) Israeli Government Killed Mughniyah

The Lebanese Hezbollah has pointed finger at Israel.[2] Israel has the capability and a history of assassinating those who have killed Israelis or Jewish people around the world. But what are possible Israeli motives other than the elimination of one of the most successful terrorists who has been targeting Israelis and Jews? Israel failed to crush Hezbollah in the “34 Day War” during summer 2006. Israel may want to finish the job it failed to accomplish in 2006. Israel, however, could not start a war due to international law and public opinion. Israel could attack if it was the Hezbollah that initiated the war. Thus assuming that Hezbollah would attack Israel after the death of Mughniyah, and assuming that Israel is in a better situation now than in 2006, and assuming that Hezbollah is in a worse situation than in 2006, then it would be in the interest of Israel to assassinate Mughniyah or pay someone in Damascus to assassinate him.

The first assumption seems to be coming true. Sheikh Hassan Nasrollah, the secretary-general of Hezbollah has said: “Zionists, if you want this sort of open war, then let the whole world hear, so be it!... The blood of Imad Mughniyah will make them [Israel] withdraw from existence.”[3] If Nasrollah’s verbal declaration of war is accompanied by a violent action, that would provide Israel the justification to massively attack Hezbollah.

The second assumption will be tested if in fact a war ensues.

The third assumption seems to be true. Unlike July-August 2006, when almost the entire Lebanese society supported Hezbollah and condemned Israel, today Hezbollah is isolated in Lebanon due to a variety of factors. Since the assassination of Rafik Hariri, who wanted to expel Syrian occupation forces and restore Lebanese sovereignty, there has been a rise in what may be called Lebanese nationalism and demands for sovereignty from outside powers. This new mood is expressed by Fouad Siniora and his supporters, variously called “March 14th Coalition,” “Pro-Democracy Forces,” “Parliamentary Majority,” and “the Government.” Opposed to the pro-democracy forces are Syrian regime, the fundamentalist regime ruling Iran, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah. Due to Hezbollah’s support for Syrian domination of Lebanon and its placing obstacles to the establishment of a UN tribunal to investigate the assassination of Rafik Hariri (widely held to be ordered by the Syrian regime), Hezbollah has come to be viewed negatively in the past year and half. Although Hezbollah’s subservience to the fundamentalist regime ruling Iran has been well-known, the new mood in favor of sovereignty has caused negative feelings toward the Hezbollah. Lebanon’s Hezbollah is probably the only political party in the world that in its organizational chart and manifestos and in actual practice, puts the leader of another country as its own’s ultimate leader. The Lebanese Hezbollah puts The Supreme Leader in Iran as its highest leader.[4]

Wikipedia summarizes the work of one of the top scholars of Hezbollah:

Since the Supreme Leader of Iran is the ultimate clerical authority, Hezbollah’s leaders have appealed to him “for guidance and directives in cases when Hezbollah’s collective leadership [was] too divided over issues and fail[ed] to reach a consensus.” After the death of Iran’s first Supreme Leader, Khomeini, Hezbollah’s governing bodies developed a more “independent role” and appealed to Iran less often.[5]

The Lebanese Hezbollah regards the Supreme Leader, or Wali al-Faghih, to have been Ruhollah Khomeini and Ali Khamanehi. This is to say that the leader of one country can order a party in another country to do as it orders it to do. This means that Ali Khamanehi can order the Lebanese Hezbollah to start a war with Israel tomorrow and the Lebanese Hezbollah HAS to obey his orders and start a war with Israel. This issue of being another country’s bullet means that the Lebanese Hezbollah has to do something that Khamanehi orders it although that may be against the national interests of Lebanon.[6] This has made many Lebanese to regard Hezbollah to be a traitor to Lebanon’s independence and sovereignty. This is accentuated by the Lebanese being Arab and Iran being a non-Arab country.[7]

(2) Syrian Government Killed Mughniyah

Two of the most prominent leaders of the pro-democracy faction Walid Jumblatt and Saad Hariri have publicly stated that Syrian regime is behind the assassination of Mughniyah.[8] Mr. Jumblatt is the leader of the Progressive Socialist Party of Lebanon, which is a Druz party. Although initially subservient to Syrian domination and occupation of Lebanon, he has changed and now supports independence and sovereignty for Lebanon, which puts him in direct conflict with Syrian regime, the fundamentalist regime ruling Iran, and the Hezbollah. Saad Hariri is the son of the late Rafik Hariri and the leader of the majority in parliament.

Syrian regime has a long history of assassinations. But most significantly is the location of the assassination and the nature of the Syrian regime (a police state where the regime has a tight control of the population). The assassination occurred in a wealthy neighborhood. The place where the explosion occurred is where the feared (and competent) Estekhbarat [Ministry of Intelligence], the Iranian school (presumably for the children of the fundamentalist regime’s officials and operatives), and a police headquarter are located.[9] Apparently Mughniyah had gone from the Iranian school to his car when he was killed.

Obviously the Syrian regime has the capability to assassinate Mughniyah. But what benefit would accrue to it? The Syrian regime is divided between two factions. One faction believes that the U.S. is in decline and thus advocates getting closer to the fundamentalist regime ruling Iran and to Lebanese Hezbollah so that Syria could dominate the region. The other faction is composed of forces that believe it would be in their interest to follow the so-called Libyan model and abandon the extremist and terrorist forces in the region and instead join the Western world. The second faction believes that by doing so, Syria could get back the Golan Heights that it lost to Israel, get financial assistance from pro-Western governments such as those in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and UAE. It is possible that the latter faction was able to convince President Bashar Assad to assassinate Mughniyah as a good-will gesture to show its willingness to distance itself from extremist and terrorist forces. The Janus-faced regime in Damascus has a history of doing one thing while saying the opposite. It is also possible that the first faction killed Mughniyah to increase hostility with the U.S. and Israel and hence undermine the second faction. To what extent Bashar Assad is able to contain the independent behavior of each faction is hard to estimate.

What is curious is that the assassination occurred during a high-level private delegation led by Zbigniew Brzezinski (a foreign policy advisor to Sen. Barack Obama) and included Hassan Nemazee (a financial chairman for Sen. Hillary Clinton).[10] Brzezinski met with President Assad and issued the following statement to the Syrian press and said the talks with President Assad “dealt with recent regional developments, affirming that both sides have a common desire to achieve stability in the region, which would benefit both its people and the United States.”[11]

In addition, the assassination just days before the third anniversary of the assassination of Rafik Hariri, which has become a massive rallying event for pro-democracy and nationalist forces in Lebanon raises suspicion. By creating a counter-weight to the memory of Hariri, which in fact the Hezbollah did in deciding to hold memorial rally for Mughniyah on that very day, Syria and Hezbollah have benefited politically.

If tensions in Lebanon lead to a war between the Hezbollah and the Lebanese Army, there is a high likelihood of the disintegration of the Lebanese Army because about 15% of the Army is comprised of Shiites who are more loyal to their communal group and Hezbollah than to Lebanon and the Lebanese Army. A new civil war and disintegration of Lebanese Army would pave the way for the re-introduction of Syrian occupation and domination of Lebanon.

(3) The U.S. Government Killed Mughniyah

Various American officials from the FBI, the State Department, and the Pentagon have welcomed the assassination of Mughniyah with much delight.[12] American government has been actively pursuing Mughniyah for the killing of many of its citizens. It should not come as a surprise if the U.S. was successful in getting one of its most deadly and successful enemies.

(4) Fundamentalist Regime Ruling Iran Killed Mughniyah

The fundamentalist regime’s death squads have killed more Iranian dissidents abroad than any government has ever done against its opponents in history. In addition, the fundamentalist regime has a brutal history of killing non-violent pro-democracy activists, feminists, students, literary figures, religious converts inside Iran. Among the latter are the killings of Dariush Forouhar, Parvaneh Eskandari Forouhar, Pirooz Davani, Majid Sharif, Mohammad Mokhtari, Mohammad Jafar Pouyandeh, and Masoumeh Mossadegh (Dr. Mossadegh’s granddaughter). The torture, rape and murder of Zahra Kazemi, the death in prison of Akbar Mohammadi, the torture to death of Dr. Zahra Bani-Yaaghob, and the torture to death of Feizollah Mahdavi (a fourth year university student in law) are but the well-known examples. Regime’s death squads have even murdered non-political individuals who merely converted to another religion such as the murder of Mehdi Dibaj, who converted from Shia to Christianity. Regime death squads even killed several dozen innocent worshippers at Imam Reza shrine in order to blame it on one of the opposition groups. But the above-mentioned are Iranians who were not fundamentalist. Why would the fundamentalist regime kill one of its own?

There is actually a history of the regime killing its own if doing so served the interests of the leadership. For example, after more than 15,000 brave Iranians risked their lives and marched in the funeral of the slain democrat (Dariush Forouhar) and feminist (Parvaneh Eskandari-Forouhar) leaders, who had been murdered by the regime’s death squad, while the regime death squads were to murder literary figures (Davani, Sharif, Mokhtari, and Pouyandeh), the regime arrested Deputy Minister of Intelligence Saeed Imami. Soon afterwards, Imami died in prison. Imami’s death was announced as suicide by vajebi (a chemical uses to get rid of body hair). However, it is not likely that consumption of the small amount of vajebi given to prisoners would cause death. The widely held belief is that the regime killed its own assassin in order to protect higher-ups who had ordered the chain murders such as Minister of Intelligence Dorri Najaf-Abadi, former Minister of Intelligence Ali Fallahian, Ali Akbar Rafsanjani, and the Supreme Leader Khamanehi. Many also believe the same death squad had been used by Rafsanjani and Khamanehi to kill Ahmad Khomeini, the Ayatollah’s influential son (whose ambition to become Supreme Leader was thwarted by Rafsanjani and Khamanehi). The regime’s death squads operating abroad are formed of the most trusted members of the Qods Force of the Islamic Republic Guards Corps (IRGC).[13] Members of death squads selected for assassinations inside Iran are composed of the trusted members of the Ministry of Intelligence or the IRGC.

What benefit would accrue to the fundamentalist regime by killing Mughniyah, its best terrorist asset? In the past year, the Lebanese Hezbollah, Syrian regime and the fundamentalist regime had failed to overthrow the pro-democracy government in Lebanon despite repeated attempts. The more bellicose and warmongers in the regime such as Ahmadinejad may wish to provoke another war in Lebanon either against other Lebanese groups or between Israel and Hezbollah. These elements in the ruling oligarchy in Iran may think it would be a repeat of the summer 2006, with the expectation that it would change the balance of forces within Lebanon, or undermine the talks in Baghdad between American officials and fundamentalist officials. By assassinating Mughniyah and blaming it on Israel, these elements within the fundamentalist regime may wish to bring violence in Lebanon and/or between Israel and Hezbollah, which they think would benefit their faction in Iran.

It is clear that although such a war may be in the interest of the extremist faction in Iran, it is against the interest of the Iranian people and the national interests of Iran. The regime has a history of consistently choosing what is in the interests of the fundamentalist clique and undermining the interests of the Iranian people and the national interests of Iran. For example, taking American diplomats hostage and keeping them hostage were clearly against the interest of the Iranian people and the national interests of Iran, but Khomeini and his supporters took those actions because it helped them get rid of the non-fundamentalist elements and impose the highly unpopular and incredibly anti-democratic fundamentalist constitution on a reluctant public.

(5) Professional Assassin Killed Mughniyah

There is a possibility that Mughniyah’s assassination was carried out by a professional assassin or assassins for purely financial reasons. Some such groups such as former KGB elements have deep roots and close connections in Syria. The U.S. government had placed $25 million bounty on Mughniyah’s head and such a sum could have attracted professionals.

(6) Hezbollah Rivals Killed Mughniyah

The Lebanese Hezbollah was created by the fundamentalist regime and composed of Lebanese Shia who worshiped Khomeini and had no nationalist feelings toward their own homeland of Lebanon. Over the years, however, it has been reported that some grew a bit skeptical of the benefits of being a simple tool in the hands of the regime ruling Iran. Whether this change occurred after observing the ideological, political and moral bankruptcy of the fundamentalist regime in Iran or a realization that their future lies in living as Lebanese along other Lebanese is not germane to the subject of this article. It has been speculated that some Hezbollah leaders have had some changes in their mentalities. It is possible that due to some internal dispute, other members of Hezbollah decided to kill Mughniyah. For example, it is possible that Mughniyah wanted to start another war with Israel, but other members of the Hezbollah disagreed, and decided to kill Mughniyah. Or conversely, it is possible that the fundamentalist regime gave an order to Lebanese Hezbollah such as attacking Israel, an order with which Mughniyah opposed. In order to prevent an open split, the fundamentalist regime and elements within Hezbollah simply decided to eliminate Mughniyah.

(7) Mughniyah Faked His Own Death

There is a possibility that Mughniyah faked his death in order to disappear. This possibility has been suggested by CNN’s senior correspondent Jim Clancy who was stationed in Beirut in the 1980s and covered many terrorist attacks attributed to Mughniyah.[14]

Conclusion

From what is currently known, the main beneficiaries of the elimination of Mughniyah are Syrian regime, the Israeli government, and the U.S. government. Unless insiders reveal secret information, we may never know who killed Mughniyah. If the Syrian regime, or the fundamentalist regime ruling Iran, or the Hezbollah are involved, we would not know until one of the two regimes is overthrown and its secret archives opened to scholars and journalists. Time will tell, perhaps.

It is also alleged that he was close to and trained members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Muqtada al-Sadr’s Jeish al-Mahdi. Some reports that in 1975, Mughniyah was a personal body guard and trained assassin for Yasser Arafat seem highly unlikely. If Mughniyah was born in 1962, he was only 13 years old in 1975.

7. To counter the notion of being subservient to a non-Arab country and leader, Lebanese Shiite supporters of the fundamentalist regime (with the help of the fundamentalist regime ruling Iran) argue that Khomeini was of Arab origins, his ancestors being from Mecca. In the following “documentary” produced by al-Manar in Lebanon and the regime in Iran and put on YouTube by www.aimislam.com which is a Shiite fundamentalist group supporter of the regime in Iran in Britain. See their documentary on youtube. At 3:55 minute, the video mentions that Khomeini “is of Arab origins, from the holy city of Mecca.” The propaganda video continues to repeatedly mention the Arab, Mecca, and Arabian peninsula origins of Khomeini more times (more than a dozen if one includes the pictorial images), to emphasize Khomeini’s Arab ethnicity. The unmistakable subtext being that Khomeini is not Persian, but rather Arab whose family was Arab and direct descent of the Prophet Mohammad and who happened to have moved to Iran to spread Islam. Thus, they are obeying and supporting an Arab descendent of the Prophet Mohammad who was ruling Iran. In other words, they are not supporting and obeying a non-Arab Iranian.

Your country Israel can't do SHIT while Iran will advance and kick anyones ass who wants to stop her progress. What you gonna do Israeli Spy? NOTHING. It's pleasurable to see all the enemies of Iran going mad not being able to do shit.
This is how Iran allows Israel to survive:
1-Israel must obey UN
2-Israeli prime minister must eat shit in front of live TV
3-Israel must give all the land back
4-Change the flag of Star of fucking David
5-Citizens must take a bath since they have stunk up the entire region.

Once Israel does all that, then we Iranians would consider them as possible ally.
Not hard yet they can't do it since they are bastards.

My Annoyedlittlemouse, I mean really! My God, You can`t possibly have meant this in earnest:
`You see our advancements and you can’t stand it. You see our success in a very short amount of time and it is tearing you apart inside. Same thing happening with Israel. They see Iran as a rival and they can’t restrain themselves from trying to stop Iran by any means`

But seriously, my friend. We have no fear of any competition. Israel welcomes an advancing Iran, not under the islamist lunatics, but a real sane prosperous free Iran. You need only to look back before your revolution and see the kind of technical,economical, agricultural, even security aid Israel was providing for Iran. If Israel did not fear Iran`s rising competition back then when you were actually on teh path of progress, how can she be now?!
A free and not schizophrenic undermined Iran is a natural ally for Israel. Israel will do all it can to help strengthen her, once she is free and sane again.
But even the Arabs, even for the Palestinians, it is our greatest wish that they would stop this death cult madness and instead spen their energy and time building for themselves and producing comfort, of nothing so that fewer among them would be absorbed to their fully functioning death cults and its indoctrinations.
Get this in you head, all we want, all Israel wants is to live. That`s it. We don`t have any ambitions, we only want to live in peace and in freedom. Ok? Just stop killing us, and we have no problem with you or anyone.

I mentioend your nickname because you so obviously want to be annoying to us. I just wanted to let you know how it was working.

You see, you gotta be kidding. How can you be serious about this:
`Please delight us with matching picture of IRI compared to Israelis’ crimes`.
Aren`t there enough pictures and films of the atrocities of your IRI around. Executions, stoning, amputation, poverty, addiction?
You just need to google `stoning in Iran` or `execution in Iran` or `addiction in Iran` and you`ll get more than enough videos and pics.

Finally, my dear, I am not a `thing`. I am a human being.
I hope this helps.

One sided attacks and propaganda are good only for brainwashing

by Zion on

Annoyinhmouse, By concentrating and magnifying one side without providing the context that made action necessary for survival you will prove nothing. I can show you much worse pictures of the results of allied attacks on Germany and the axis powers in WWII. Much worse, but if anyone concentrates solely on those pictures without mentioning the ideology, intention and atrocities of the Nazis and the Fascists that made that war, with all those unfortunate consequences, inevitable, he is rubbing himself of any moral standing and is only engaging in shameful propaganda while covering the truth with hand picked manipulated facts.

Israel fights for her survival, does not deliberately target civilians and tries as much as is humanly possible for a nation under such viscious attacks and facing genocide, to minimize such sufferings. Real genocide not the usual word play used for palestinians in lefty and anti-Israel rhetoric. The islamists, palestinian terrorists, Hizballah and your mullahs are engaged in an ideological war of domination, of destruction, of deliberate killings. What makes you be consciously blind to this difference? I defend Israel because she deserves defending. Why does that make you so angry? Why are you defending, de facto, the Islamists and the mullahs?

Why annoyingmouse? Why?

by Zion on

You keep making remarks like these:
`Your message carries no content...You are a shame to the Americans...You suffer from many childhood traumas...`

Yet you never explain why that is so? How did you reach this conclusion? You never address the issues, you never clarify why our positions are tantamount to such failures in our character as you allege. Why don`t you expand upon your position and show us the faults in what we say, instead of constantly attacking us personally? That is merely the attitude of an intellectually bankrupt individual who is frustrated and angry of his rational shortcomings. Why so much anger?

`...to the Jewish blood in which they believed to be the chosen one with the IQ of above 200...`

What kind of nonsense is this? Is this the kind of inferiority complex you are suffering under? Is that what drives your type to anti-semitism?
There is no relation between a particular `blood` and IQ. It is nonsense to say Jews have a higher IQ. If Jews on average, as a people, are perhaps more successful in academic and intellectual endeavours, it is not because of anything in the `blood`, but because of the culture, emphasis put on education since childhood, family protection and being brought up with a healthy and moral value system.
If this kind of nonsense is what bothering you, throw them out of your head. It is rubbish, worth nothing in the actual reality out there.

Regarding Rabid Dogs

by Zion on

Jamaleto, you are right in that Israel and the United States have been engaged in wars. So has the Islamic regime ruling Iran. However there is a huge difference between the two that you have missed, or overlooked.
Free men need to fight sometimes. To survive, both as living human beings and as free human beings. That`s because the world is imperfect, and will always remain imperfect. There might have been mistakes in wars, mistakes are after all human. The Islamic regime however is an ideological beast who fights to destroy freedom, to impose its absolutist ideology. It is in the nature of all totalitarian ideologies like Islamism to dominate everything, because of the gap they have within them that can never be filled. The Islamic regime engages in violence, in and out of war. Has no respect for innocent human life in and out of a conventional war. Kills civilains deliberately, sends children on mine fields, executes its onw citizens (victims), amputates them, stones them, tortures them. It does nothing but glorify killing and dying, in its religious mythology, its world view, its practicality, its very essence. This is a sickness. A cultural rabies.
Not all that shines is gold. Both fight, but there is a differene between free men fighting for life, and a rabid dog fighting to kill and to die.

You are a shame to the Americans who were kind enough to give us education and a disgrace to the Jewish blood in which they believed to be the chosen one with the IQ of above 200. You suffer from many childhood traumas as you got stock in your childhood memories and your arguments does not advance into a adult conversations as your vocabulary is as limited as your knowledge. In all these I regret to waste my time on you but I don’t hesitate to stop you at any time should I come across your postings (They are not even comments at this point) again. I look forward to see you in the next discussion.

I wonder who have they (IRI) attacked in 30 years, besides being attacked.

Iran attacked the US when it seized the US embassy in Tehran on November 4th, 1979. No need to count down 30 years worth of history. That was an act of war the Islamic Republic committed against another country in the very first year of its existance.

Nice try, though.

Rabid dog behavior? Absolutely.

What say you? Do you admit to being wrong, or do you start denying and rationalizing? Don't bother replying to me if you are going to pretend the US deserved to be attacked, in direct violation of the Vienna Conventions.

Time for an "honesty" check.

Is IRI acting like a Rabid dogs?

by Jamaleto (not verified) on

I wonder who have they (IRI) attacked in 30 years, besides being attacked. Now let's see who has Israel and US attack in 30 years...anyone? anyone?
Rabid dogs, lol. You guys have absolutely no shame.

We all here agree that IRI is a criminal regime, but you have no balls to call Israel on her crimes. You know why? You got NO Balls and are brain washed. Also you are afraid to say shit against your master Israeli government. Wonder how much money you have been collecting to spy for them.
