5/Eid kept digging and found another network of 18 mobiles associated to the red network. It was called the blue network. 6 of the phones had used the same towers and at the same time as the red phones. It turns out the hit squad carried two phones(one red one blue).

13/On Jan. 25, 2008, Captain Wissam Eid was assassinated, after several meetings with the UN investigators.
14/Ayach was thus responsible for purchasing the van, was part of the hit-squad and was on several networks coordinating the assassination.
Arresting Ayach will lead to all the identified persons on the different networks.
This explains why Hezbollah will not hand him over.
