Well, it does matter a little bit. Brzenski is visiting...so Mugniyah could have been building a bomb to go after a high profile American.
That Mughniyah would instead be done in by his own bomb is somehow fitting, though.
But, we need to be aware if there is an active plot against a friendly HVT in the region. So that’s why it matters a little.
Wretchard highlights this point from Robert Baer today on his blog..
Mughaniyeh was regarded as a particularly difficult target. Wikipedia quotes Robert Baer, a former CIA officer as saying, "Mugniyah is probably the most intelligent, most capable operative weve ever run across, including the KGB or anybody else. He enters by one door, exits by another, changes his cars daily, never makes appointments on a telephone, never is predictable. He only uses people that are related to him that he can trust. He doesnt just recruit people."
Nope not a work accident....not buying.
Someone worked very hard to bring him to justice.
