Closest aide of Hamas hard-line Khaled Meshaal dies in suspicious "accident"

[evangilder]

Hmm, another high profile terrorist gets what's coming to him...

DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources report that Hisham Faiz Abu Libda, Khaled Meshaal’s chef de bureau, was killed in Damascus by a hit-and-run car. Syrian authorities have ordered a blackout on the incident. His was the second mysterious death of a high-profile terrorist in the Syrian capital in recent weeks after Hizballah’s military chief Imad Mughniyeh was blown up in a high-security district on Feb. 13.

His boss was in Doha at the time, closeted with the emir of Qatar.

Our sources note that Abu Labda’s death the day after the Syria’s North Korean nuclear reactor and its destruction by Israeli raiders were exposed in Washington, will serve as a warning to Damascus. It is Bashar Assad’s second reminder that his undercover agencies are seriously penetrated.

Abu Libda organized Meshaal’s contacts with Hamas operations chiefs in Gaza and other places and his regular meetings with Syrian and Iranian officials.

DEBKAfile’s exclusive sources also reveal that Assad has decided not to publish the findings of the inquiry into Mughniyeh’s death.

In the terrorist world, that is commonly refered to as "A Retirement Plan". A lot less paperwork than a 401K.
