BEIRUT, Lebanon - "Imad Mughniyeh, the suspected mastermind of dramatic attacks on the U.S. Embassy and U.S. Marine barracks that killed hundreds of Americans in Lebanon in the 1980s, has died in a car bombing in Syria.
The Islamic militant group Hezbollah and its Iranian backers on Wednesday blamed Israel for the killing of Mughniyeh, Hezbollah?s security chief in the 1980s who was one of the world?s most wanted and elusive terrorists. Israel denied involvement.
Hezbollah did not say how or where Mughniyeh was killed. But Iranian state television and the National Organization for Human Rights in Syria said he died in a car bombing in the Syrian capital Damascus on Tuesday night.
Hezbollah?s announcement of the death came a few hours after a late night explosion in Damascus destroyed a vehicle. Witnesses in the Syrian capital said at the time that a passerby was killed as security forces sealed off the area and removed the body. But authorities there would not give details"....
i never(well,almost never) am glad to hear about death,but this guy was the worst of the worst.....
whether it was factional infighting or the israelis,i don`t really care...this guy was a big fish....this is a great victory ....matter f fact,i`m glad theres some question regarding who killed him...it`s a good thing if this freaks out hezbollah because they don't know who actually did it.... and as a result makes them neurotic and looking all around them.......
he had the blood of many american citizens and armed forces members on his hands........
remembering petty officer robert stethem, usn. november 17, 1961 ? june 15, 1985....who was tortured by mughniyeh on pan am flight 847..... then his body was thrown off the plane onto the tarmac....
hopefully he can rest a little more peacefully now...
a car bomb?...there's a certain biblical justice to that......the whole "he who lives by the sword", etc. thing.......
whoever got mughniyeh,did the world a huge favor...
