Just an opinion, but it seems more likely that Israeli or other western agents made the hit. I'd like to think our CIA was involved but don't know if we have a robust enough presence in the region.

I think it's likely the Iraqis killed the guy. Saddam Hussein may well want to eliminate any demonstrable ties he has with terrorism, so as to make it more difficult to mount an attack on him.
