From AP:
Fugitive militant Imad Mughniyeh, a top U.S. target suspected in the killings of hundreds of Americans as well as a series of infamous strikes against U.S., Israeli and Jewish targets, was killed in a car bomb blast in the Syrian capital Damascus, Iranian television and a Syrian human rights group said Wednesday. Hezbollah accused Israel for the assassination.
The shadowy Mughniyeh, a top figure in the Iranian-and Syrian-backed Shiite Hezbollah militant group, was one of the most notorious terror figures of the 1980s and 1990s but had virtually vanished for the past 15 years.
He was implicated in the 1983 bombings of the U.S Embassy and Marine barracks in Beirut that killed more than 300 people, the 1985 hijacking of a TWA flight in which an American Navy diver was killed and the kidnappings of numerous Americans in Lebanon, including then-AP Mideast chief correspondent Terry Anderson. Mughniyeh is on an FBI wanted list with a $25 million bounty on his head, equal to that of Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden.
And the creep was a suspect in the 1984 torture and murder of Beirut station CIA chief William Buckley.
Mughniyeh was killed by a car-bomb in Syria, which terror-supporters are blaming on Israel--but the nation denies involvement.
May you rot in Hell, Mughniyeh.
