Report: Iran-Syria tension Over Investigation Of Mughniya Assassination

Arab intelligence sources have reported on a “quiet crisis” between Tehran and Damascus based on the investigation of the assassination of senior Hizbullah commander Imad Mughniya.

The sources said that Iran is perturbed because the investigation has as of yet turned up nothing, and even suspects the involvement of the Syrian intelligence apparatuses.

Seven Kuwaiti Shi’ites to face trial over Mughniyeh eulogy
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
KUWAIT CITY

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Seven Kuwaiti Shi’ites will face trial for allegedly sending a statement to Lebanese and Iranian TV stations eulogizing a slain Hezbollah militant, their lawyer said Tuesday.

Attorney Abdul-Karim bin Haidar said the prosecution charged the men with “spreading false news about the situation in the country,” by sending that statement which “weakened the position of the state abroad.”

He said his clients deny any connection to the statement, which was broadcast by Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television in Lebanon, and Iran’s state-run Arabic channel Al-Alam.

Several of the seven, who include four former legislators and one cleric, attended a eulogy for Mughniyeh in Kuwait shortly after he was killed in a car bomb in Syria in February.”
