Imad mughniyah assassination of gianni brown: assassination of Islamic Jihad's senior military

From Andrew Exum. Imad Mughniyah is dead, killed in Damascus by a car bomb at the age of For many, Mughniyah was a reviled figure, wanted by both Israel and the United States for his alleged role in numerous attacks on American and Israeli targets—including the truck-bombing of the U. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut in and the attack on the Israeli embassy in Argentina in Formally, the FBI most-wanted him for his role in the hijacking of an American airliner to Beirut and the murder of a U.

Navy diver on board. For researchers such as myself, Mughniyah was of great interest because he represented a constant figure in Hezbollah throughout its evolution from an Iranian-backed Lebanese militia in the s to a nationalist insurgent group in the s and finally to its current incarnation as the most powerful political party in Lebanon—both in terms of weapons and popular support.

The timing of the assassination, from the perspective of Lebanese of all political stripes, could not have been worse. Comments limited to MESH members and invitees. We thought he was safe there.
