Mughniyeh’s wife sez Syria did it
Tehran, 25 Feb. (AKI) - The wife of assassinated militant leader Imad Mughniyeh, claims that Syria was behind the killing of her husband, reported Alborz, a pro-Iranian government source.
Her husband, Imad Mughniyeh was killed in a bombing in Damascus on 13 February and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, Syria and Iran have blamed Israel for assassinating him.
Mughniyeh was the intelligence chief of Hezbollah’s secretive military wing, the Islamic Resistance.
“The Syrian traitors assisted in my husband’s murder,” said the wife.
Saudi daily ‘Okaz’ has also entertained the idea of Syria being behind the murder of Mughniyeh. It hypothesises a power struggle within Lebanese Hezbollah between those who want an alliance with Iran, and those who want to steer away from it, enjoying the support of the Syrian security forces.
“The Syrian refusal to let Iranian investigators do their job is proof of Damascus’ complicity in my husband’s murder,” said Mughniyeh’s widow.
