Born in the City of Tyre in 1962, Mughniyeh attracted attention in 1976 when he became a Sniper for "Force 17" attacking Christians on the Green Line dividing West and East Beirut.
The first Islamic Terrorist attack that he was implicated in was the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Embassy and U.S. Marine Barracks more than 350 people were killed.
In 1985 Mughniyeh was one of the terrorists that Hijacked TWA 847 flying from Athens to Rome, the aircraft was forced to land in Beirut and afterwards flew to Algeria and then returned to Beirut---Mughniyeh was indicted in the United States for the murder of a U.S. Navy Diver that was one of the hostages seized on the TWA aircraft.
Israel accused Mughniyeh for being involved in the 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Argentina in which 29 people were murdered and for the bombing of the Jewish Center in Buenos Aires in 1994 which killed 87 and injured more than a hundred others.
"With all pride, we declare a Great Jihadist leader of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon joining the Martyrs...the Brother Commander Hajj Imad Mugniyeh became a martyr at the hands of the Zionist infidels" in a statement carried on Islamic Television stations.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Sean McCormack said, "The world is a better place without this man in it...one way or the other he was brought to justice."
