Hezbollah has conducted a highly successful raid into Israeli territory, attacking a Israeli Defense Force outpost along the Israel-Lebanese border, killing three soldiers and capturing two after they were wounded. Four Israeli soldiers were killed when their tank ran over a land mine in Lebanon during follow-up operations to free the captured soldiers. An additional soldier was killed when attempting to recover the bodies of the four tankers.

Mugniyah has extensive links with the Iranian intelligence services, and has been directly linked to al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, and recently deceased al-Qaeda in Iraq commander Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Mugniyah is on FBI's list of 22 most wanted terrorists, with a $5 million dollar reward for information leading to his capture. U.S. Special Forces aborted a raid to capture Mugniyah in the Persian Gulf in 1996. He was believed to have visited Syria in January of 2006, attending a meeting with Iranian President Ahmadinejad and Syrian President Assad.

I thought there were no pictures of him?

Mugniyah should be one of the top three on the most wanted list with UBL and Zawahiri.

He was responsible for Khobar Towers and the barrack bombing in Lebanon.

There's a number of pictures of him but I don't think any recent ones and speculation that he has had facial surgery.

Perhaps he will slip somewhere along the line and get killed.
Of course someone of equal talent and connections will simply fill his shoes.

Mugniyah is bad news. Clinton aborted a raid to capture him in the 90's.

Yes, I heard clinton wanted him captured and "tried". Lebonese said you've got to be kidding? We can kill him for you but can't capture him.
Another big "thanks" to the pervert in chief!!!
