Imad Mughniyah (1962–2008) was a prominent leader of [[Hezbollah]]'s terrorist operations. He was believed to have carefully orchestrated the abduction of Marine Lieutenant Colonel [[William Richard Higgins]] in [[Lebanon]] in 1988[^1].
Imad Mughniyah (1962–2008) was a prominent leader of [[Hezbollah]]'s terrorist operations. The writer Annie Jacobsen wrote that he orchestrated the abduction of Marine Lieutenant Colonel [[William Richard Higgins]] in [[Lebanon]] in 1988[^1].
Mughniyah had a history of involvement in significant terrorist attacks against U.S. interests. He oversaw the 1983 suicide bombing of the [[U.S. Embassy in Beirut]], which killed sixty-three people, mostly [[Central Intelligence Agency]] and embassy staff. Six months later, he also oversaw the Beirut Marine barracks suicide bombing, a terrorist attack that resulted in the deaths of 241 U.S. service personnel, including 220 Marines[^1].
