A top Hezbollah Commander was killed last night in Damascus when a bomb that was planted under his car went off. No one claimed credit for the killing of this man (heck! I wouldn't either, the last thing I would want is Hezbollah to come after me!)
The man's name was Imad Mugniyah,45,was one of the most wanted and elusive terrorists in the world. This man went so far as to have plastic surgery in order to hide his identity. Well obviously it didn't work because somebody killed him!
However, this man was accused of planning the horrible 1983 bombings of the United States Embassy and a Marine barracks in Beirut; the hijacking of a T.W.A. jetliner in 1985; and a series of high-profile kidnappings in the 1980s, among other crimes.
American Officials called this man the “'A team' of international terrorism because of his cold professionalism and success at evading capture." Before 2001, this man had been involved in more terrorist attacks Americans than any other individual. Add a $25 million bounty on this guys head and you have got the makings of a wanted man.

“The world is a better place without this man in it,” said the State Department spokesman, Sean McCormack, on Wednesday.
