Whoever did it, well done!
'Imad Mughnyieh was very likely the real top leader of Hizb-Allah and certainly the World's #1 terrorist, and he is credited for the attacks against the US peacekeepers in Beyrouth in 1983, the US embassy there, the abductions and murders of Western citizens in Lebanon during the '80s, the massacre of the Buenos Aires Jewish community in '94, and much, much more.

Care to add to the Mughnyieh scumbag obituary thread here?

Robert Dean Stethem rest in peace.

And if it was the Mossad that did it to that bandit, thank you from a very grateful American citizen for the deed.

A small measure of Justice..

The US also had a very good reason to rid the world of this terrorist, and certainly has the means to act in Damascus.
Another theory is that the Iranian overlords intended him to replace Hassan Nasrallah at the head of the Hizb. Nasrallah has pretty much irritated his masters for starting the 2006 war and wasting too many good rockets for nothing. Nasrallah's faction is very likely to have preempted. Hopefully, this is what really happened, and we can cautiously start hoping that a factional struggle will tear Hizb-Allah asunder while we sip on beer and eat popcorn.

this guy was about 50 times the terrorist osama bin laden could ever hope to be, the world should be grateful.

i saw a headline in the NYTimes, it said "senior hezbollah operative killed in syria" and i said to myself "jeez, the Times doesn't know squat, they could only run with a story like that if it's someone like Mugniyah..."

and sure enough!

So probably the most wanted terrorist in the world, (whom no one has heard from in 14 years) is killed 3 years, almost to the day, after the former Lebanese Prime Minister is, and the source for his death is...Hezbollah? 

Israel didn't claim  responsibility for the assassination, something they would usually do.  Plus I didn't know car bombs were part of the MO for Mossad.  Could they penetrate that deeply into Hezbollah/Syria with someone on the ground to detonate a car bomb?  If so, why do it now, with the suspicious timing related to Rafki's death?  It sounds like an inside job to me (Syrians cleaning house perhaps before UN investigations), or a Lebanese faction, or misinformation (Hezbollah/Syria put this guy under deep cover as he plans a major attack perhaps) while Hezbollah gets to blame Israel (as usual) for something.

Maybe I'm over thinking this and giving Hezbollah too much credit, but the timing just seems funny,  and  I didn't think Hezbollah news was all that reliable.

Maybe it's the work of an ambitious rival or hezbollah has decided he's more usefull as a martyr than alive.

Could also be something as stupid as him moving dodgy homemade explosives

I doubt our current yellow livered CIA has the stones for this kind of action.

However I trust you have a better read on it than I do. I like your second read better than my suggestion, with this caveat that the Syrian government might have had a hand of its own in the game. As I really don't understand Syrian politics at all, I'm winging this one entirely on speculation. Is it possible that the Damascus looney tunes are as faction riddled as the Terhran bandits?

In either case when the rats start to each other I say just squeeze them tighter together and watch the social experiment run its course. Just put out plenty of rat poison to kill the survivors.

On a side note, is it true, that those Hamas scum run a jihadist Bugs Bunny on TV now?

From Haaretz.

What does a Texas jackrabbit with a New York Brooklyn accent have to do with jihadism? Don't they KNOW from what "culture" this icon actually comes?

I was in the hospital recovering from surgery this week.  Saw the lede on MSNBC and NBC and CNN, who also daid it was a leading Hizzbie terrorist - My first thought -  they hit Mughniyeh!!   The docs came in and said it was Nasrallah,  i said NO WAY (even groggy,  I'm still a grognard!).
 
 
What a way to help my recovery, so that I could bet back to my terrorist database and update a certain entry to "TOASTED".
 
 
 
swhitebull -  btw -  my daughter went to NIU several years ago, and told me today that she had taken some classes with the shooter, and had spoken with him on occasion.  gave me a BIG Chill yesterday when I heard this happening.

First Umad Mughniyeh takes the 72-virgin ride with a Bashar Assad Special. Now Ayman Atallah Fayed gets blasted in the most literal sense of the word. Both men were high-ranking members of terrorist groups arrayed against Israel. Coincidence?

A powerful blast went off in the house of a senior Islamic Jihad activist Friday, killing him, his wife and daughter, along with three neighbors, medics and an Islamic Jihad spokesman said.

Islamic Jihad claimed Israeli warplanes struck the home of Ayman Atallah Fayed. Israel denied it had launched any airstrike in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza where Fayed lived. Hamas police said the cause of the blast was not clear.

Witnesses reported seeing fragments of what looked like locally produced rockets at the scene, suggesting the house may have been used to store arms

.

Of course, the explosion could have something to do with the fact that Fayed had his family living on a pile of bombs. Perhaps someone was tinkering with one in the house and connected the right wire at the wrong time. That also could have created the huge scope of the blast. With a lot of ordnance inside, a single explosion could have been amplified greatly through the secondary explosions of the other rockets.

It does seem more than a little coincidental, though. Leading members of two of Israel's biggest enemies getting their martyrdom visas stamped within days of each other would be awfully lucky for the Israelis. Unless, of course, the Israelis were the ones stamping those visas in the first place.

Four in a row is a trend, though: one I'll happily encourage.
