Imad Mugniyah was killed in a car bombing (al-Jazeera) in Damascus on February 13, 2008. Hezbollah officials accused Israel of launching the attacks that killed Mugniyah, though the Israeli government denied involvement (Haaretz). This profile of Mugniyah was written in August 2006.

Introduction
Relatively little is known about Imad Fayez Mugniyah, considered one of the most influential members of Hezbollah’s inner circle. He is thought to be the organization’s chief international operator, a shadowy figure behind its leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, and he has been linked to nearly every major terrorist operation executed by Hezbollah over the last twenty-five years. Mugniyah was the most wanted terrorist in the world before Osama bin Laden came onto intelligence radar screens, and he remains a prime target of U.S. counterterrorism forces.

    Man although you seem glad about his death, I am really somehow concerned. His assassination was probably done by the syrian, anything the syrians do there should be something bad for us about it …

    besides Israel

    other possibilities include Syria itself (perhaps hez was growing too independent); the Anti-Syria block in lebanon (in revenge for Hariri’s death?) or Hezbullah itself (power struggles between underground Nasrallah whose been losing control and his #2)

    What’s obvious is that the above know they can easily escape responsibility by blaming it on Israel. Two birds at once.

    I hope he burns in hell very slow and may his spirit call on all HA leaders, members and their supporters to join him close to the camp fire.

    the thing is…we dont know he is dead for sure

    Maybe he just faked his own death so that he wont be on any wanted lists nomore.

    Maybe its his way of retiring quietly.

    Nshallah Hassan Nesrallah is next. That fat bastard needs to die as well for the sake of goodness in this world

    Since we are making a list can someone blow Naim Kassem at the same time. He is really annoying my TV each time he appears. His picture is not compatible with HD.

    Paul,

    There’s an article in a Kuwaiti newspaper called “Awan” which support your idea.
    Here it is:

    علمت «أوان» من مصـــدر عربي مطلع، أن المـــــسؤول العــــسكري في حزب الله عماد مغنية قــــتل أمس في دمشق أثناء قيامه بتفـــخيخ سيارة رباعية الدفع من طراز «باجيرو».

    وقال المصـــــدر إن مغنية كان يعمل على تفــــخيخ أكـثر من سيارة من أجل شــــحنها إلى لبنان لمنع قوى الأكـــــثرية اللبنانية مــــن إقــامة المهرجان السنــــوي فــــــي الذكرى الثالثة لاغتيال رئيـــــس الوزراء اللبناني السابق رفـــــيق الحريري.

    وأضاف أن السيارة التي انفجرت كانــــت متـــــوقفة في حي كفرسوســــة بدمشق على بعد 300 متر من مـــــدرسة إيرانية في منطـــــقة سكنية تضــــم مكاتب للاستـــــخبارات السورية ومركزا للشرطة.

    وكـــــان حـــزب اللـــه أعلن في بيان أمس، مقتل المسؤول العسكري فــــــي الحزب عمـــاد مغنية، متهما إســرائيل بقتله. غير أن إسرائيل نفت أي دور لها.

    Everything can be true about those murderers.
    He can even be the person who planned for Hariri murder, and i can’t understand why Saad Hariri and March 14 are mourning him. Maybe it’s just a statement to satisfy HA.

    Rodge: Its a statement to let this day pass by peacefully.

    Each time scum like this one die, its a celebration.
