Is Russia’s Hidden Hand Somewhere in the Samir Kuntar Assassination?

Missile strike on target in Damascus is clear challenge to Moscow, which raises question of whether there was some kind of understanding or coordination in advance.

I think Russia got Israel to help them locate the head of the Saudi backed jihad in Syria in exchange for this Hezbollah target. Quid pro Qua.

And in an odd coincidence, Col. Gen. Igor Sergun, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Russia’s General Staff, known as the GRU dies unexpectedly at 58 ...

It could be spook stuff but sometimes a cigar is just a cigar - life expectancy for Russian males is pretty low - he could have easily died from natural causes.

.....but the CIA or like agency could have also killed him. The founder of Russia's RT was found dead in a DC hotel. This after testimony that Russia was winning the message war against the USA.

So you never know....

It could be drink. It could be sex with a younger woman. It could be stress and bad diets. Or some spook action.

"Col. Gen. Igor Sergun, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Russia’s General Staff, known as the GRU dies unexpectedly at 58 ."

Isn't 58 about the average lifespan of Russian males these days? From what I've read Russian men have been smoking and drinking themselves into early graves for quite some time.

Syrian media said Israel also fired missiles at 7 other locations if we can believe the Syrian media.

Kantar is a hero in Iran, in Syria where he won the highest medal of honor and of course, with Hezbollah.

I don’t think anything’s sneaky in this, it’s just not for certain that Israel or FSA may have killed Kantar.

Correct, and... a founder of RT died as well last November at about the same age in a hotel room in DC.

They found his $50 million yacht in Australia in the past few days as well.

Sure, nothing to see here folks.

That’s also where Assad allowed 2000 ISIS fighters to be evacuated, so let me get this straight, Russia and Syria are fighting ISIS? http://www.ibtimes.com/report-2000-rebels-including-isis-fighters-be-evacuated-damascus-un-deal-2240002

Really, who’d allow ISIS fighters to be evacuated? But Assad did.

If you have a problem with that then ask your congressperson to arm Assad to kill them. The UN deal allows the Assad regime to remove fighters who would fight to the death - clearing Damascus.

Since pretty much all the Arab rebels in Syria are jihadis at this point - it could be that the Assad regime is making sure that when a partition of Syria happens along Bosnia's example the jihadis get the shit land and the regime keeps the prime real estate.

----------------

If they were hits it was CIA on Russian assets rather than Putin targeting anyone more than likely. Just a few months before that the German (I think) tasked with supporting Syrian rebels was also found dead in a hotel room. The next day the American general tasked with arming the rebels resigned. Again, maybe something - maybe nothing.

The American general who resigned got out while the getting was good, I think; he saw the writing on the wall which bore his name ... Too many coincidences ... don’t count our various muslim ‘friends’ out of this little game, especially Hezbollah or Turkey’s TGS J-2.

That is also a good point - not only FSB vs CIA. We can have Mossad and ISIS and who know who.
