Fingering point at Syria

The Jerusalem Post carried this little blurb:
The fact that the Syrian government is not allowing an extensive investigation of Imad Mughniyeh's assassination proves that Syria was involved in the killing, the arch-terrorist's widow said Monday.

"The Syrian traitors are responsible for his death," she said in an interview in Iran. "Damascus's refusal to let the Iranians investigate the incident is only one more proof of that." Army Radio reported that in the months leading up to the assassination there were rumors of bad blood between Mughniyeh and Hizbullah chief Sheikh Hassam Nasrallah. Mughniyeh, according to the rumors, was trying to usurp Nasrallah and take over as the leader of Hizbullah.

I think the widow Mughniyeh may have a point and my gut instinct has been suggesting that the most likely 'culprits' have always been more ‘homegrown” than not. I know it flies directly in the face of everyone who sees a Mossad agent hiding under every tree, rock and cranny throughout the world but even Mossad guys know how to share the joy.
