In Jerusalem

It seems that Imad Mugniyah got a word in after all. A Hezbollah television station reported that a new group called the Martyrs of Imad Mugniyah and Gaza -- named for the ex-Hezbollah military commander who died in February -- is claiming responsibility for an attack by a gunman at a Jerusalem Jewish seminary. Hamas celebrated, but didn't take responsibility for, the attack that left 7 students dead and 10 injured. There was also celebratory shooting in Gaza. The Israeli officials will be spending quality time trying to figure out how the assailants got a gun through the labyrinth of checkpoints. One should hope so. If not, Mugniyah will continue to have the same a say in the matter of middle east peace in death that he had in life: No.
