    Syria 'to name Mughniyeh killer' Iranian TV said a booby-trapped car had exploded next to Mughniyeh's Syria has said it will soon present "irrefutable" proof of who was behind the killing of Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh in the capital, Damascus.Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem would not discuss the ongoing investigation, but insisted the world would "soon hear the results of this mighty effort".
