TAKING CREDIT: THE DEATH OF IMAD MUGHNIYEH

A few weeks after The Washington Post and Newsweek scored scoops by revealing that the CIA worked jointly with the Mossad to assassinate Imad Mughniyeh – the notorious Lebanese Hezbollah military commander blown to bits by a bomb in Damascus, this week seven years ago – there is now a second phase of revelations. Israelis who are close to the intelligence community apparently were concerned that the American side was taking too much credit. This report is based on the version the Israelis are telling to Western officials and diplomats, as told by Dan Raviv, CBS News correspondent and co-author of Spies Against Armageddon: Inside Israel’s Secret Wars.
