Imad Mughniyah, The Man Behind the Beirut Marine Barracks Bombing Killed

Hezbollah is blaming Israel for killing the most prolific terrorist of the 80's and 90's. This is the man behind the US Embassy bombing in Beirut, as well as the bombing of the Marine barraks that killed 241 servicemen. The largest single-day death toll of US military personnel since World War Two. He is also known to be responsible for the Bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires which killed 85 people.

If what the Arab press has rushed to announce is true, then that prize belongs to Meir Dagan and the Mossad. Iran saw Mughniyah as a crucial asset. Along with the Iranian ambassador and the commander of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mugniyah served as the Iranian presence in Lebanon. Whoever tracked Mughniyah down in Syria had excellent operational and intelligent abilities.

What truly amazes me is that US media are far more fixated today on whether Roger Clemens was injected with steroids years ago, then they seem to be in this huge story involving the mysterious targeted assassination of a man responsible for hundreds of American lives.
