    • Abstract:
      The article profiles Imad Mughniyeh, a senior official of the Lebanon-based Islamic militant group and political party Hezbollah until his assassination in 2008. It describes him as among the world's major terrorists, saying he was involved in many terror attacks including the 1983 bombings of U.S. and French military barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, and the 1994 bombing of a Buenos Aires, Argentina, synagogue. It says he maintained a low public profile, contrasting him with former al-Qaeda terrorist organization head Osama bin Laden. It recounts his life, including his participation in the Palestinian Fatah movement and the periods of time he spent in Iran.
