The US government and the assassination of `Imad Mughniyyah

As some of you may remember, I had expressed my belief of a US role back in 2014:
"Monday, June 30, 2014
Who Killed `Imad Mughniyyah
Oh, I forgot to add one element to my critique of Kai Bird's The Good Spy.  The author maintains that there is evidence that the US government and not the Mossad was behind the killing of Mughniyyah.  I believe that.  If Israel had the intelligence about Mughniyyah's whereabouts, it is most likely that it would have provided the intelligence to the US knowing how much the US wants to get him.  And if the US had the intelligence about his whereabouts, it is doubtful that it would have provided it to Mossad to do the job when it has been wanting to do it for decades." 
But the dumbest propaganda about the Mughniyyah assassination came from the US Director of Central Intelligence who had maintained in 2008 that the assassination was due to "an internal" matter within Hizbullah or that Syrian government was behind it.
