#1 Pro-Syrian Hizbullah loyalists flocked to the terrorist organizations south Beirut stronghold to attend Mughniyehs funeral. The Dachya neighborhood was packed with mourners who accompanied the coffin of one of the worlds most elusive terrorists.

Sounds like the proverbial "golden opportunity" to me...

Hizbullah chief terrorist Hassan Nasrallah eulogized his top deputy in a pre-recorded speech from his own hideout in an underground bunker. Nasrallah has been holed up since the end of the Second Lebanon War, fearing assassination by the long arm of Israeli justice.

Oh, yeah! I'm a tough guy! Better believe it!

#2 That funeral ought to be a target-rich environment. Maybe one of Hizbullah's Kassams could fly tragically wrong and land there.
