He is a serial killer. One of my [Kenneth R. Timmerman] sources, a former Iranian intelligence officer who knew Mugniyeh, told me that he just liked the smell of blood. For the Muslim feast of Aid al-Fitr, Mugniyeh used to personally slaughter the lamb his family would eat, smearing himself and his children with the blood. I tell all of these stories and more in my 2005 book, Countdown to Crisis: the Coming Nuclear Showdown with Iran.Mugniyeh died a hunted man smeared in his own blood presumably. Odd that he'd think that cutting the throat of a lamb, no less, is an indication of manliness. Maybe figuratively having Mr. Stethem's blood on you wasn't such a good idea, Dude. Somebody obviously remembered that stain that just was never going to wash out. Maybe you actually did have Mr. Stethem's blood on you. Heaven only knows that can happen so easily when your working over someone who's bound securely.
To those who took out Saladin al-Mugniyeh, "Thanks guys."
And "they say" Westerners have a short attention span.
Al-Mug was probably also an honored, protected guest of the Syrian government, it's safe to say. Which raises the eternal question, "Why do Syria -- and Iran -- remain completely untouched despite repeated in-your-face provocations?" It's a mystery to me. Right up there with, "How did we end up with such a pathetic trio as the now finalists, for Pete's sake, in the presidential sweepstakes?" (Is there a "start over" lever we can pull in November?)
Oh, welllll.
If the Israelis got Mugniyeh the Lamb Slayer well then good for them. I'd like to think, however, that our guys are just as capable of mounting this kind of chastisement operation.
Probably Mr. Bush would have to check with his Saudi pals first to be sure that we don't irritate them.
