WOW this has been a long time coming.
Yes.
Thats just laughable.
Looks more like a turf war to me. Who's next in line?
Yes, it sure has.
Thank God.
Amen.
It might have been a work accident, but I don’t know.
The news seems to be still sorting itself out on the details.
Thank God is right. This was one SOB I thought about a lot and prayed would not die peacefully in bed. All these years I kept saying “he can run, he can hide, but we will get him”.
Mughniyah you POS, I hope you were scared all these years.
Somebody didn't give up on getting him. I doubt that it is U.S..
I like stories with a happy ending.
“Isn’t he also responsible for marine barrack attack in 1983?”
I have heard that, but I really am not sure if it was a combination of terrorists on the Marine Barracks bombing.
Let me go get a link.
This is a huge ‘get’ no matter who got the SOB. Presumably Israel..... wasn’t Imad Mugniya also believed to be behind the bombing of the Marine barracks in 1983? I think I’ve read that in the past, though don’t know who really knows — but he’s been considered one of the worst terrorist masterminds in the world for many many years. It is a great thing if he really is gone.

Imad Mugniyah likely behind the capture of Israeli soldiers

Here’s what I was thinking of, a different attack.

This is just INCREDIBLE, such amazing excellent news. This is as big a get as Bin Laden, to me. Outstanding.
“The group was also linked to suicide bomb attacks against the U.S. embassy and Marine headquarters in Lebanon in the 1980s.”
From new Reuters post, same link as above.

Mugniyeh surfaces
Iranian intelligence official visits Lebanon
Monday, 17 December, 2007
Beirut - A senior Iranian intelligence officer arrived in Lebanon the week of Dec. 9, and Imad Mughniyah, Hezbollah official in charge of foreign operations accompanied the officer to his meetings there, Stratfor sources said Dec. 16.
The two have held continuous talks with Hezbollah foreign operations officers in meetings attended by Hezbollah security chief Wafiq Safa. They later traveled to the town of Nabi Sheit in the northern Biqaa, then met with Syrian intelligence officers led by Brig. Gen. Ali Diab in Hezbollah training grounds in Shara near the border village of Janta.
Imad Mugniyah, a senior member of the Hezbollah militant organization has been living in Tehran. Sometimes described as a “master terrorist”, Mugniyah has been implicated in the 1983 bombings of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, and U.S. Marine and French peacekeeping barracks, which killed over 350, as well as the 1992 bombings of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires. He was also linked to numerous kidnappings of Westerners in Beirut through the 1980s, most notably that of Terry Anderson. Some of these individuals were later killed such as U.S. Army Col William Francis Buckley.
