Well, apparently the chimps in Tehran, Damascus and Hezbollah's HQ are a bit miffed at the assasination of Hezbollah jihadist, Imad Mughniyeh. Good!
Reports are out that the three powers are conspiring on how to retaliate agains Israel (who they blame for the killing of Mughniyeh). The West is concluding that there is a plan to retaliate in the works because those three jihadist centers are unusually quiet over the event. Israel, by the way, is denying that they killed him. I jumped to the conclusion that Israel did this job but now, perhaps one has to look at the set up by the jihadists just to justify a retaliation. I don't know.
Anyway, Israel's northern border is on high alert and we'll have to wait and see. This isn't the first time a high profile jihadist has been taken out in Damascus - and in all reality, there are a ton of crazy loon jihadists passing through Syria at this time.
I still think Israel did it but it really doesn't matter. Iran and Syria and Hezbollah won't care - they will only see it as a reason to retaliate.
There was some hilarity in it all...when all of Hezbollah's leaders hit the bomb shelters soon after the word that Mughniyeh was greeting his first promised virgin. Now THAT I would have liked to see a video of...Nasrallah and his boys scurrying underground like mice.
Here's the full story from DEBKA.

DEBKAfile: Tehran, Damascus, Hizballah leadership believed coordinating retaliation for Mughniyeh’s death
This is how anxious Western and Israeli counter-terror agencies interpret the muted responses to the killing of Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus Tuesday, Feb. 12. Iran, Syria and Hizballah are certain that the bomb planted in the master terrorist’s Mitsubishi Pajero in the heart of the Syrian capital was rigged by the Israeli Mossad. They are therefore most certainly setting up a major reprisal in the form of a terrorist hit or a military assault.
Wednesday night, all Hizballah’s top leaders went to ground. They even gave the mourning tent set up in the Shiite district of Beirut for their dead leader a wide berth.
Our sources report that the long-sought terrorist was finally despatched by a small explosive inserted between the driver’s seat and the back seats, which destroyed only one part of the vehicle. The front and rear remained intact. Mughniyeh was driving alone to a reception marking Islamic Revolution Day at the Iranian embassy in the Romana district.
DEBKAfile’s counter-terror experts note that the way the explosion was set up recalled the method used by the hit team which killed the Jihad Islami senior operative Ghaleb Ghali in Damascus in October 2004. Then, too, Syria held Israel responsible.
