Mugniyah's mother: I wish I had another shahid son
02.15.08
The investigation conducted by Syrian security services into the assassination of arch-terrorist Imad Mugniyah is in its final stages, the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar reported Friday. According to the report, Hizbullah representatives are helping in the investigation.
Meanwhile, Lebanese media outlets have released transcripts of statements made by the top Hizbullah commander's mother during his funeral on Thursday. The woman, who has lost two other sons besides Imad, was quoted as saying "I wish I had more sons to continue on the path."
The mother told a woman sitting beside her during the service that she met Imad for the last time just two days before his death by a car bomb in Damascus on Tuesday. "He was sick and I gave him a shot," she said. "We were anticipating such news (Imad's death) since my son chose the path of resistance."
