Prisoner in Syria says he aided Hezbollah killing
None
A Jordanian-Palestinian man has appeared on Syrian TV to say he gave Israeli agents vital information that led to the 2008 assassination of a top Hezbollah military commander in Damascus. The man was identified as Ayad Youssef Nueim, who is in prison in Syria for allegedly spying for Israel.
He said in Saturday's interview that the Israeli Mossad spy agency wanted information about an SUV that turned out to belong to Imad Mughniyeh, the Hezbollah commander. Mughniyeh was killed by a bomb that ripped through his SUV. Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the killing, but Israel never acknowledged involvement. (AP)
