Imad Muganiyah:
Mughniyah has been implicated in many of terrorist attacks in the 1980s and 1990s, primarily American and Israeli targets. These include the April 18, 1983 bombing of the United States embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, which killed 63 people including 17 Americans. He was later blamed for the October 23, 1983 simultaneous truck bombings; against French paratroopers and the U.S. Marine barracks. The attacks killed 58 French soldiers and 241 Marines. On September 20, 1984, he attacked the US embassy annex building. The United States indicted him (and his collaborator, Hassan Izz al-Din) for the June 14, 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847, which resulted in the death of US Navy diver Robert Stethem.[7]
He was also linked to numerous kidnappings of Westerners in Beirut through the 1980s, most notably that of Terry Anderson. Some of these individuals were later killed, such as U.S. Army Colonel William Francis Buckley. The remainder were released at various times until the last one, Terry Anderson was released in 1991.

In a lot of ways, this guy made Bin Laden look like a lightweight. He was a hands-on terrorist mastermind with an incredibly vile track record. I’ve been reading up on him much of the day.
I’m glad he’s fucking dead, I don’t give a rat’s ass who killed him.
NEXT!

If I were Mossad, I’d be saying, “Hell, yeah, we killed the bastard. Who wants to be next?”

Thanks, Don Cesar. I’ve been following this asshole’s work for too long not to see his death trumpeted from the high places and signal fires lit to our allies everywhere. The dead call out and now go to their rest. Thank you.

Sure did ZH#2. Wonder how he likes his “virgins”, well done, or charred?

He must have been pissed to find that box of dates…

I have nothing to say, just tears of joy.

Dead, is he? Good. Thanks, Mentalfloss. Who do you think should be next?

Well, let’s see….here’s 10 I can think of:
Then, if you dig a bit deeper, you could find something like a partial list of wanted terrorists’ frozen accounts — the banks, regions, depositor’s name, balances and account numbers… like this one.

A bit rusty on the ‘ol XHTML…sorry

No worries MentalFloss. These things can be altered.

Thanks, ash_ …was just away brushing up on my tag protocols and returned to find my egregious error fixed!

#13, That’s happened to me too! Either we have magical self-correcting software, or a Resident Blog Fairy who flutters in and sprinkles stardust on our stuff-ups to fix them…;-)

So as to contain someone’s secret identity Spot, let’s go with the magical self-correcting software! LOL.

Good job to whoever capped this POS. It’s about damned time.
February 14, 2008, 7:29 am at 7:29 am
Damn straight Dave. And may there be many more POSs taken care of.

I have been so happy about this man sploding that it has even trumped my Valentines day gift of a new red i-pod. LOL
