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."

Secret papers reveal threats from Saudi (U.K.)
Friday February 15 2008
Saudi Arabia's rulers threatened to make it easier for terrorists to attack London unless corruption investigations into their arms deals were halted, according to court documents revealed yesterday.
Previously secret files describe how investigators were told they faced "another 7/7" and the loss of "British lives on British streets" if they pressed on with their inquiries and the Saudis carried out their threat to cut off intelligence.
Prince Bandar, the head of the Saudi national security council, and son of the crown prince, was alleged in court to be the man behind the threats to hold back information about suicide bombers and terrorists. He faces accusations that he himself took more than £1bn in secret payments from the arms company BAE. He was accused in yesterday's high court hearings of flying to London in December 2006 and uttering threats which made the prime minister, Tony Blair, force an end to the Serious Fraud Office investigation into bribery allegations involving Bandar and his family.

Judge denies ÇSIS bid to track terror suspects
Mr. Justice Edmond Blanchard of the Federal Court wrote: “I find that this court is without the jurisdiction to issue the warrant sought. Accordingly, the request is denied.”
The 10 unnamed suspects – nine of whom are Canadians or immigrants to Canada – have been at the centre of a legal fight that was a closely guarded court secret.
Some details in the ruling are censored, such as whether the 10 people are alleged to work together.
