Whether or not this Kuwaiti newspaper article which follows is true or false, I cannot say, but I, along with many others, have been wondering why the Syrians did not allow the Iranian investigators to assist them in the investigation of the murder of Hizbullah’s operations officer Imad Mughniyeh. And it has seemed strange that so little information on the investigation has come out of Syria since it happened.
There is something rotten in Denmark besides their cartoons of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. President Bashar Assad’ s brother-in-law, Col.
Wasef Shweikat, is one very evil, sly, individual who worked closely with Hassan Nasrallah, head of Hizbullah, in intelligence operations, some of which involved assassinations
of prominent Lebanese politicians opposed to Syrian control in Lebanon.
The political structure in Syria and Lebanon is deeply woven together, where conspiracies, treachery, and intrigue abound. We may never know who really killed the vicious terrorist Imad Mughniyeh.

Report: Assad’s Brother-in-Law Behind Mughniyeh Death

(IsraelNN.com) Syrian dictator Bashar Assad’s brother-in-law is suspected of engineering the assassination of Hizbullah’s operations officer Imad Mughniyeh, according to a report Saturday in Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Siasa (“Politics”). The news report appeared under the headline “Mughniyeh’s elimination breaking the back of Damascus regime.”
The suspicions against the man, Colonel Wasef Shweikat, surfaced after his wife, Bashar Assad’s sister Bushra, relocated to Paris with her children following the assassination. The move followed a split between Bashar and Bushra, which began when Mughniyeh informed Bashar of a plot against his regime.
The paper said Shweikat met with a senior American intelligence officer in a European country.
Mughniyeh got wind of the clandestine meeting and informed Bashar personally about it. This is what caused the rift between Bashar Assad and his sister.
Sister slapped
Bashar slapped his sister in the face in the course of one of their arguments, after he informed her of the suspicions against her husband. Assad told his sister that Shweikat and the American agent met to discuss a possible coup in Syria, in which Shweikat would seize power.
Tension between Mughniyeh and Shweik
at was not a new thing, Al-Siasa explained. Mughniyeh had repeatedly attempted to weaken Shweikat’s standing in the Syrian power echelon. This is why Shweikat is a major suspect in the planning of the assassination.
Suspicions against Shweikat have increased since Bashar Assad appointed Hafez Makluf, the Head of General Intelligence, to head the investigation of the assassination. Makluf is considered to be a political rival of Shweikat.
Bushra moving again
Bushra Assad is said to be preparing to move again, from Paris to one of the Gulf emirates.
A month ago, the newspaper reported that none other than Hassan Nasrallah was the man behind the assassination of his operations officer.
Nasrallah reportedly refused to allow Syrian investigators to interrogate three of his senior officers, because he feared that a connection would be established between the Mughniyeh assassination and a split between Hizbullah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
Kuwait has been disseminating information which shows Mughniyeh in a bad light, since his assassination.
The Gulf state suspects Mughniyeh of involvement in the hijacking of two Kuwaiti airliners in the 1980s. Members of the Kuwaiti parliament who protested and grieved Mughneiyeh’s death were put on trial.
