Mughniyeh killed in Damascus
February 13, 2008, 11:36 AM (GMT+02:00)
DEBKAfile’s military sources report that the Hizballah’s supreme commander and
plotter of major anti-US and anti-Israel terror operations from in the last 25
years reportedly died in bomb explosion in the Damascus district of Tanzim
Kafr Susa Tuesday night, Feb. 12.
Hizballah TV interrupted its broadcasts Wednesday to announce his death,
accusing Israel of assassination.
The elusive Mughniyeh orchestrated the 1983 bombings of the US embassy, which
killed 63 people and wiped out the top CIA Middle East staff. In 1982, He
orchestrated suicide bombings of US Marine and French Beirut headquarters,
prompting president Ronald Reagan to evacuate US troops from Lebanon.
The United States indicted him for the June 14, 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight
847, which resulted in the death of U.S. Navy diver Robert Stethem. He was
also linked to numerous brutal kidnappings of Westerners in Beirut through the
1980s, most notably that of Terry Anderson and U.S. Army Col William Francis
Buckley, who was later murdered.
Mughniyeh was held responsible for the 1992 bombings of the Israeli embassy
and Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires, in which more than a hundred
people died. After numerous attempts to capture him, the FBI in Oct. 2001 put
him on its list of 22 most wanted terrorist with a reward of $5 million for
information leading to his arrest.
In recent years, he has acted as the Iranian Islami regime’s senior adviser on
terror and its liaison with al Qaeda.
The dead terrorist mastermind’s first mentor was the Palestinian Yasser Arafat
as a member of the Fatah’s Force 17.
