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 1988¹.

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 Marines¹.

In the 1980s, Mughniyah was considered one of the leading terrorist masterminds in the world. The Defense Intelligence Agency feared he was holding Higgins captive and that he would torture Higgins to extract classified information¹.
