Imad Mughniyeh, Hizbullah's chief of operations, was considered over the past 25 years one of the world's most-wanted terrorists, involved in endless attacks against Israel and the United States, including the abduction of two IDF reservists in 2006 and the bombing of US embassies in Africa. Mughniyeh was co-founder of Hizbullah' in 1976 he joined Force 17 as a sniper targeting Christians on the Green Line dividing West and East Beirut. The first terror attack he was implicated for was the 1983 bombings of the US Embassy and barracks housing US Marines and French paratroopers who were part of the Multinational Force in Lebanon. Some 350 people were killed. In 1985, Mughniyeh was believed to have been one of the terrorists who took hostage a TWA flight on its way from Athens to Rome. On October 10, 2001 Mughniyeh appeared on the FBI's first "Top 22 Most Wanted Terrorists" list. A reward of $5 million was offered for information leading to his capture. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1202742146147&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull He was wanted for the bombings of the Israeli embassy and the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in 1992 and 1994 [that left 29 and 85 people dead], as well as a wave of abductions of Westerns in Lebanon in the 1980s. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/953907.html PS he certainly deserves 72 virgins. Israel denies any involvement
Israel's government is a terrorist organization, and has way to much influence on US foriegn policy. Israel is an albatros around the US neck. Never forget the attack on the USS liberty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
US welcomes death of Hizbullah terror chief Mughniyeh The US welcomed on Wednesday the death of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said that "the world is a better place without this man in it," adding that "one way or the other he was brought to justice." He said that the United States had no independent information on the reports that Mughniyeh was killed in a car bombing in Syria Tuesday. The United States blames Mughniyeh for numerous terrorist attacks that killed hundreds of Americans including attacks on the US Embassy and US Marine barracks in Lebanon in the 1980s.

Uh oh...prepare for some moonbat to lament the passing of this "freedom fighter" who fought so bravely against the imperialist forces of the US.
Unfortunately the CIA had (and probably still has) their hands tied behind their backs: Executive Order 11905, issued in 1976 by President Gerald Ford, reads: "No employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination."
Generally speaking, we have to get these things done using outside contractors. however it happened I am glad it did.... May the guy burn in hell.
