Hizbullah man dies under mysterious cirmustances: A senior Hizbullah figure, Haj Jamil Salah, was killed Monday in south Lebanon under "unclear circumstances," Qatari newspaper al-Arab reported.
Hizbullah sources confirmed Salah's death but said he was killed "under normal circumstances during work, and not as result of an assassination." No additional details were provided regarding the incident.
Several Hizbullah leaders have been assassinated in recent years, including military commander Imad Mughniyah, who was killed in Damascus in February when a bomb exploded in his car.
Some Arab officials have blamed Israel for his death and vowed to avenge the killing.
Ghaleb Awwali, Hizbullah's envoy to the Palestinian factions, was also assassinated in southern Lebanon in 1998.
In yet another prominent assassination, former Hizbullah leader Abbas Mousawi was killed by Israel in 1992.
