"Israel" Admits Killing Moghniyeh

WASHINGTON-‘Israel' admitted the occupying regime's Mossad spy agency was behind the assassination of Hizbullah commander Imad Moghniyeh in a terrorist blast in the Syrian capital last February.

DEBKAfile website, which is close to the regime's intelligence body, in a report published on Tuesday said Mossad director Meir Dagan personally planned the assassination at orders by Zionist Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

"Dagan, a hands-on spymaster, demonstrated his skill earlier in the operation to eliminate one of the longest-running and most dangerous enemies of ‘Israel' and America, the head of Hizbullah's special security apparatus, Imad Moghniyeh," DEBKAfile said.

Dagan, whose term behind his desk at Mossad was extended for another year by Olmert, has a bloody history of assassinating top-notch Hizbullah commanders during his tenure.

Martyr Moghniyeh, the most prominent commander of the Lebanese resistance movement, was the target of a myriad of assassination attempts by the ‘Israeli' regime.

He was killed late February 12 in car bomb blast while he was in Kfra Soussa neighborhood, Damascus.

Since Moghniyeh's martyrdom, the regime's embassies and institutions around the world have been on high alert fearing reprisals by Hizbullah supporters.

The resistance movement's leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned in a fiery oration at Moghniyeh's funeral that the ‘Israeli' regime had committed a "major stupid mistake". It was now "open war", Nasrallah said.
