Tne newwspaper Al-Akhbar has led a journalistic investigation into the 2008 assassination of top Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh. The report, which ends with the somber tears of his mother, has turned up new details regarding the operation in Damascus that left the senior commander of the Shiite group dead.
After the Second Lebanon War, Mughniyeh was charged with rehabilitating Hezbollah's fighting capabilities and weaponry. "Damascus was the main station for the task, which meant that (he) had to intensify his travel to and from Syria," the online newspaper claimed.
"At the time, Mughniyeh, much like many operatives… treated Syria as one of the safest places. There was a presumption that Israel would not target Syria through direct operations," the paper explained, claiming there was an "implicit laxity" which de-facto created the possibility for his imminent assassination.
No two brewers are alike. It sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but the three brewers who wandered into my life last week were an MIT fermentation scientist (Mystic's Bryan Greenhagen), the founder of American craft brewing (Boston Beer's Jim Koch), and a former investment banker turned airline mogul who started the first microbrewery in the Middle East (Mazen Hajjar of 961 Beer).
It's doubtful any other career path would unite these three, but I found myself having similar conversations with each brewer as I plotted out stories for the week and reflected on larger truths in the way that only a couple of beers can inspire. Extreme beer was a major topic with two of the brewers; all three agreed that they prefer to brew the kinds of beer they like to drink themselves. And there's serious industrious talent and business chops in anyone crazy enough to start their own brewery.
