Oh Mugniyah ... You won't see him no more.

One of the world's most wanted was rubbed out in a bomb attack in Syria. And while it caught the blame, Israel is denying any involvement. There's certainly no shortage of suspects though. Imad Mugniyah, Hezbollah's senior military commander, has been blamed for everything from global warming to E.D. He left a fingerprint on an airplane during a1985 highjacking that landed him on the FBI's most wanted list. Israel came close to getting him in 1992, but ended up killing his brother instead. He also is linked to the Mahdi Army as a military trainer. And while nobody knows who did it yet, everybody except Iran is crowing over his demise. Hezbollah is throwing a public memorial Thursday in Damascus. Some sort of retaliation is expected. Mugniyah was the second-most wanted in the world. Now if we could only run down the first.
