Top Hezbollah Commander Killed in Syria Bombing

13 February 2008 – A top Hezbollah commander long sought by the United States for his role in terrorist attacks that killed hundreds of Americans in the 1980s, died Tuesday night in Damascus when a bomb detonated under the car he was in, Syrian officials said. No one claimed credit for killing the man, Imad Mugniyah, who had been in hiding for many years and was one of the most wanted and elusive terrorists in the world.

Mr. Mugniyah, 45, was suspected of planning the devastating 1983 bombings of the United States Embassy and a Marine barracks in Beirut; the hijacking of a T.W.A. jetliner in 1985; and a series of high-profile kidnappings in the 1980s, among other crimes. Israel accused him of helping plan the 1992 bombing of its embassy in Buenos Aires, in which 29 people were killed.

Although he had not been accused of planning new attacks in more than a decade, American officials referred to Mr. Mugniyah as the “A team” of international terrorism because of his cold professionalism and success at evading capture.

Widely believed to have undergone plastic surgery to avoid detection, Mr. Mugniyah had not been seen in public for years and was thought to move between Iran, Syria, and Lebanon. Before 2001, he had been involved in more terrorist attacks against Americans than any other individual, and at one point he had a $25 million American bounty on his head.

“The world is a better place without this man in it,” said the State Department spokesman, Sean McCormack, on Wednesday.
 

IDF Northern Command ups level of alert

13 February 2008 – The IDF Northern Command has decided to up its level of alert, in view of Hizbullah commander Imad Mugniyah's death Wednesday.

In 2004, following the assassination of Hizbullah's Alab Awalli, the organization opened fire on two IDF soldiers stationed at the Nurit post, and killed them.
 

Comments: Someone finally got the big fish, Imad Mugniyah. Imad Mugniyah has been on the run for 25 years and probably one of the top 5 most wanted terrorists in the world. No organization is likely to take responsibility for the bombing which will only add to the mystery surrounding this assassination but already Hezbollah, Iran and Syria are putting the blame on Israel. The IDF have stepped up their alert level and now that the deed is done, a revenge attack against Israel could be coming on the Northern border just like it did back in 2004. We all know how easily the last war started in 2006 and this is something to keep in mind. The funeral will be held in Lebanon tomorrow (14 Feb.) and there will be anger in the streets Beirut. Watch how this develops, this is big news in the Middle East unfolding.
