The master terrorist is dead. Ding dong, the witch is dead, which witch, the wicked witch, the wicked witch is dead. Make no mistake, Imad Mughniyeh is a bigger catch than Osama Bin Laden. Perhaps as big a hit as any. 46 countries owed Mughniyeh justice, and one delivered. Whoever did it, delivered a blow to the networks of terror of which he was the epicenter, that include Hizbollah, Iran, Hamas and al Qaida. The one time mentee of Yasir Arafat, plotter of hijackings, Beirut marine barracks bombing, Khobar bombing, Iraqi resistance, and Hizbollah military shenanigans, Mughniyeh's exploits can be read thoughout the internet.
So why did we not know about him? Why did George Bush, who declared "Mission Accomplished" in 2003, ignore Valdimir Putin's warnings about Mughniyeh? Why did Syria become the conduit for Iranian-Iraqi-Lebanese terror networks yet escape the designation "Axis of Evil." All good questions.
In 2003, the only outfit to report on Mughniyeh was debkafile, an intelligence site run out of Jerusalem. The established his biography, credentials, his ties to multiple countries' terror outfits and the Iraqi resistance. For this reporting, debkafile deserves our gratitude and placement as an investigative reporting link that serves our right to know.
