The Defense Ministry has been instructed to raise its alert level due to concerns that Hizbullah will target Israelis and Jews abroad with the aid of Iran and Syria in retaliation for the death of Hizbullah operations chief Imad Mughniyeh, Defense Minister Ehud Barak announced on Sunday.
Speaking at the weekly cabinet meeting, Barak said Mughniyeh was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of civilians and soldiers over dozens of years in numerous countries worldwide. He estimated that it would take time for Hizbullah to replace him.
Syria and Hizbullah still don't have a clear picture of who assassinated Mughniyeh, Barak went on, but that hasn't stopped Hizbullah from pointing an accusing finger at Israel.
Earlier, London's Sunday Times reported that at the time of his assassination, allegedly carried out by the Mossad, Mughniyeh was cooperating with the Syrians in planning an attack against Israeli targets to avenge an IAF strike on a Syrian site in September 2007, according to "informed Israeli sources."

The title doesn’t match the article (not your fault).
The says that no one knows who killed Mugniyah.
Of course not! The Hizzies can do no wrong and everything Israel's fault. /sarc
If so, may they do the same to the mullahs and Ahmadinnerjacket.
Argus to Mossad: “Congratulations.”
The paper quoted "Israeli intelligence sources" as saying that Mossad agents had replaced the headrest of the driver's seat in Mughiyeh's SUV with another headrest containing a small cache of explosives.
Sources!
I never would have thought of the Mossad. /sarc
Guess the C.I.A. is too busy attacking President Bush to perform these necessary services for an imperiled world.

No they didn’t. Israel is the easy one to blame. Actually, most likely French Intelligence helping out some Lebanese friends. That monster has killed some important folks...and their relatives set up a revenge killing for his past acts. Israel DID NOT KILL HIM.
I G-d D—n hope Mossad did it!!!! Nobody else apparently has the balls to go out and kill terrorists unless they erroneously wander into Iraq or Afghanistan where the Marines and Army can get to them.
The father of the girl who was insulted by...
Good job from one this country’s best allies.
Too bad House Democrats chose this week to reduce this country’s ability to fight terrorism.
The US should sent them the $25M reward for his dead butt.
