Hezbollah Commander Imad Mughniyeh Killed in Syrian Car Bomb

foxnews.com — BEIRUT, Lebanon — Imad Mughniyeh, one of America's most wanted, has been killed by Israeli agents, Hezbollah announced in a statement Wednesday. Mughniyeh, who has been in hiding for years, was among the fugitives indicted in the United States for the 1985 hijacking of a TWA airliner in which a U.S. Navy diver was killed.

  • israelonblog, on 02/13/2008, -27/+68One of the biggest murders in the world. Nasrallah, you better watch your back.
    • kara1234, on 02/13/2008, -43/+18Do you have numbers to back that up?

      In the recent Israeli-Lebanon war of summer 2006, Israel killed over 800 Lebanese civilians, while Hezbollah is responsible for around 50 Israeli civilians. Hezbollah (i.e. Nasrallah) may be a big murder in the world, but Israel seems to be ahead of him in terms of body count.

      • slvrbullet87, on 02/13/2008, -12/+40and to think if lebanon didnt fire rockets into israel it could have been avoided.
        • kara1234, on 02/13/2008, -24/+7You seem to be quickly changing the topic instead of answering a very important question. I understand why you do it though, its because you can't answer my question.
        • jayleb, on 02/13/2008, -24/+13Im not pro Hizballah in any way, but if you think they fired rockets into Israel first, PLEASE read the news more closely next time a war breaks out, mmmkaay? :)
          Oh, and by news I don't mean FOX news...
          • Wargalas, on 02/13/2008, -4/+23Ok, you want to talk about "firsts"? Ok, how about their assault on an Israeli military outpost and subsequent kidnapping and murder of Israeli soldiers? Or did you conveniently forget that?
          • amightywind, on 02/13/2008, -5/+19The war started because Hezbollah violated Israeli borders and took prisoners. Do you expect Israel to give its citizen soldiers away to be tortured by muslim fanatics? They should have annexed south Lebannon up to the Litani River long ago.
          • Aharoni, on 02/13/2008, -4/+19Actually, they did fire rockets into Israel first. During their kidnapping of Israeli patrol (which happened on Israeli soil, unprovoked) they fired mortar shells and missiles on IDF outposts to prevent any rescue attempts from happening and create confusion.
            How about you start watching news that doesn't include CNN (which are just as biased as FOX news, only to the other side) or Al-Manar. mmmmkaaay?
          • amightywind, on 02/13/2008, -5/+16Oh yah. Better Fox News than Al-Jazeera.
          • neko6, on 02/13/2008, -4/+17"but if you think they fired rockets into Israel first, PLEASE read the news more closely next time a war breaks out, mmmkaay? :)" - just because the media in other countries don't consider rockets falling on Israel news, it doesn't mean that it didn't happen...

        • SysstemLord, on 02/13/2008, -19/+7What rockets? the rocket launching started after Israel was bombing bridges in Lebanon.
          No reason to defend Hezbollah, but at that time they made an operation against the Israeli army inside an occupied land, and Israel reacted by attacking civilian regions in Lebanon
          • neko6, on 02/13/2008, -5/+22Hizbullah murdered 20 people, wounded dozens and kidnapped four in the 3.5 years BEFORE Israel decided to retaliate. Please show me a nation that suffered 20 deaths by attacks from another country and didn't retaliate.
        • solid12345, on 02/13/2008, -6/+32Israel was protecting their boys. Remember, not ONE, repeat, ONE single Israeli POW has ever returned home alive by terrorist groups. The Hezbollah, Syrians, and Hamas always butcher and torture them. Israel will literally trade 100 living terrorist scum just to get back the body of 1 IDF soldier because unlike their enemies they respect life.
        • kara1234, on 02/13/2008, -5/+9solid12345 is wrong about POWs. Many were returned alive:

          But truth and facts don't matter when discussing the Middle East to many people.

          And like my other comments in this thread, I expect this to be downmodded severely for not aligning with the prevailing beliefs of the mob here. It is quite funny.

      • Zecchetti, on 02/13/2008, -17/+4Amazing how people choose to ignore the facts.
        • Iconoclast25, on 02/13/2008, -6/+17Facts like the moslem dedication to the extermination of the state of Israel, fanatic attacks throughout the world, how gutless wimps like you and ankle-pants carter support the terrorsts? No, we don't ignore those facts.
      • Bobtastic, on 02/13/2008, -1/+20Sure, I have some numbers on this particular person. However, it doesn't have his full "rap sheet," but only numbers from two instances.

        From the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7242383.stm ...
        Israel believes he was involved in planning the 1992 bombing of Israel's embassy in Argentina in which 29 people were killed, and the blast at a Buenos Aires Jewish centre two years later that killed 95.
        • kara1234, on 02/13/2008, -3/+8Thank you. That is a significantly more intelligent reply that slvrbullet87.
    • Zecchetti, on 02/13/2008, -38/+11"One of the biggest murders in the world". You mean Ariel Sharon?
      • CoolWind, on 02/13/2008, -19/+6he's right up there with Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon
        • Xenufield, on 02/13/2008, -5/+12And they all still pale in comparison to the lasting damage Jimmy Carter did.
      • SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/13/2008, -8/+23So you liked this guy Mughniyeh? You agreed with his tactics of hijacking airliners, and plotting attacks? Let me guess, even the innocent bystanders that this ass killed were guilty somehow, right? Paying taxes to the Great Satan?
        If you're so in love with him, why don't you go strap a bomb on yourself and go out in a blaze of glory and bits of flesh.
      • gaia90210, on 02/15/2008, -0/+0China needs to flood the middle east market with more shoddy slippers ala the e-mail spam where the slippers cause lesions on the skin.... except this time China ups the toxic waste content so that the slippers kill people faster... the middle east region is too messed up and it needs to be cleared so that there can be a new beginning...
    • amightywind, on 02/13/2008, -15/+30Yes. The pig Nasrallah is next. Let us hope the Mughniyeh funeral is well attended. A well aimed cluster bomb would solve a lot of problems.
      • ubitendo, on 02/13/2008, -16/+7Yeah, we gotta kill the kids too because they'll be seeking revenge.
        • amightywind, on 02/13/2008, -7/+18Hezbollah needs to learn that they cannot hide behind civilians. If that means collateral damage, so be it.
          • bjornski, on 02/13/2008, -13/+6So you'll gladly kill civilians to get accomplish your goal?

            You're no better than the people you want dead.

            Looking around on your profile for any signs of age or military involvement, I see you've decided to make neither known, but yet you're more than willing to "rah rah" other peoples kids in, to go kill civilians, to "get those bad guys". I'm GLAD you don't have a gun, representing me to the rest of the world. You're much less dangerous here as a loud-mouthed "First Chairborne Division" type. No more likable, or more intelligent, but far less dangerous. Except to your family and everyone else you show off your closet full of guns to.

            You sir, are a douchebag.
          • pintomp3, on 02/13/2008, -8/+7you wouldn't be saying that if your family was "collateral damage".
          • neko6, on 02/14/2008, -1/+4Bjorn - If your'e not willing to allow collateral damage, you will never fight anyone, and thus eventually will lose and be killed.
            Pintomp - If your family runs to the shelters 3 times a day for a year until one day your kid is killed by a rocket, you wouldn't care about "collateral damage", you'll want your army to pound the enemy until they surrender.
          • Iconoclast25, on 02/14/2008, -2/+4@ pinto - my family wouldn't allow those raghead vermin to come any closer than rifle range. We might get damaged, but there would be no "collateral' about it. If the pals are all that concerned about their families, they could always tell the terrorists to take a hike - hamas, et. al. are doing this "for the people," right?
      • Zecchetti, on 02/13/2008, -18/+8Cluster bombs? You're a sick bloodthirsty prick.
        • Iconoclast25, on 02/13/2008, -10/+17And you are a sick cowardly terrorist lover . . . hope you go to that particular funeral.
        • kara1234, on 02/13/2008, -12/+7He is very bloodthirsty. It's sort of funny actually. He doesn't realize that he is a mirror image of those he so passionately hates.
          • neko6, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Not really - he hates those who wants to murder him, its natural. They hate him, on the other hand, because he refuses to accept their religion.
          • Zecchetti, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1"because he refuses to accept their religion".

            Is that really why they resist Israel? ***** much?
      • pintomp3, on 02/13/2008, -13/+5perhaps you don't know what cluster bombs are. they are like landmines in civilian areas. their use is condemned by the international community. either you don't know what they are, or you are no better than the terrorists.

          Just how are you going to extradite rabid dogs like these from their packs of protectors to do things your way? Why don't you just walk up to the guy with an arrest warrant? Possibly file an extradition request with hezbollah? Those approaches will work (sarc) - more like you will be part of the boxed deluxe set of video beheadings. Targeted assassinations of our enemies is a tool which should be available to our intelligence services. Not indiscriminate, not without some approval mechanism external to the organizations, but available for this sort of situation.
        • Xenufield, on 02/13/2008, -1/+10I think if my people had just suffered an attempt at genocide, I'd be offering rewards for giving payback to the people doing it as well slvrbullet.
    • kara1234, on 02/13/2008, -1/+24Hezbollah is primarily Israel's concern, not the US. Of course it could have been the US, but I would give 8:1 odds in favor of it being an Israeli operation.
      • spiralspirit, on 02/13/2008, -1/+14this guy was thought to be one of the thinkers behind 9/11, hence possible US involvement

        • Iconoclast25, on 02/13/2008, -1/+10Well, from the user name, we would know how Opiate begins the day if the obtuse comment had not already provided ample evidence.
      • CoolWind, on 02/13/2008, -1/+10Of course it's much easier for Israel to have operatives in Syria, than it is for the US.
        • SysstemLord, on 02/13/2008, -8/+1So ture!
          Syria would kiss Israel's ass in any possible way, so syrian intelligence would do such operation for Israel for some price. They having been begging them to accept negotiations, but USA is blocking that.
      • Iconoclast25, on 02/13/2008, -2/+9There are hezbollah cells in the US - they busted, or at least outed one, in Charlotte, NC, within the last two years or so. Plus, it is not as if hezbollah is exactly advocating a lovefest with us.

        This maggot was responsible for the death of at least one US citizen and quite likely thousands more. That gives us a compelling interest in his death. While I agree it is almost certainly an Israeli operation, I'd like to think the US helped in some way.

His claims that he has "multiple body parts of Israeli soldiers" and tries to hint towards Israel to make a deal with him (so he'll be seen as a hero again) pretty much suggests he is in trouble. He's not the same, calm, arrogant Nasrallah we used to know and hate.

      Remember, Nasrallah came to power after Israel took care of Hizballah's previous #1 - and Nasrallah was ten times worse. So now that his image took a beating its serving Israel quite well to keep him alive. You don't know who will rise to power after him and history may repeat itself.

            Funny you mention that because this has been admitted by palestinian leaders as well:

            "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.
            For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

            It's clear from your comments here that your opinion is that whatever disgusting, immoral horrible things that Arabs do it is all justified because ISrael is evil, while ignoring the blame that should lie on Arabs for their part in this crisis. You ignore the fact that the palestinians rejected the 48 borders and chose war instead. You ignore there murders prior to 48, you excuse the rocket attacks aimed solely at civilians and you think you make some point by arbitrarily putting down ISrael.

            I'll admit that Israel has made mistakes, but they are a small country surrounded by people who are very vocal about killing them. You'll notice Hamas doesn't state that they want the 48 borders (like you do), they state the destruction of Israel.

The Arabs left by their own will. Some say it was because they feared the war, others say its because they were told to leave by the Arab leaders, to make the ethnic cleansing of Jews easier.

            It is a fact that there are hundreds of thousands of Arabs who are Israeli civilians, so they were NOT forced to leave. Also, it makes no sense - if you have enough firepower to take over people's homes, why not just kill them? Why send them away? So that they can later reclaim their property?

    • mike17032, on 02/13/2008, -6/+23Except of course this piece of ***** was a wanted terrorist that has hijacked planes. If the head of your "defense force" is a wanted ***** terrorist, it kinda removes any case for the "defense force" being legit.

      • givemereplay, on 02/13/2008, -15/+8Ariel Sharon, previous Prime Minister of Israel and head of the IDF committed the Qibya Massacre in 1953, killing dozens of innocent civilians. He was even court marshalled by the Israelis for it. If the head of your "defense force" is a wanted ***** terrorist, it kind of removes any case for the "Defense force" being legit.

        ***** you, terrorist apologist.

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qibya_massacre
        • neko6, on 02/13/2008, -3/+11I read this and understand that it was against ENEMY CIVILIANS (In Jordan), killed 40+ and it was after many more Israelis were killed in their raids.

          While I'm not comfortable with attacks against enemy civilians, you can't ignore these facts:
          1. This was over 50 years ago, less then 10 years after WW2. In this era, attacking civilians in war was the norm (Hiroshima, Dresden, etc.). You can't blame people who lived in another era for what has only become illegal later.
          2. Jordan attacked Israel, not the other way around
          3. After this attack, the attacks against Israel stopped. This means dozens of lives (maybe hundreds) were saved by this operation. Maybe another war was prevented.

          Not everything is black or white.
          • givemereplay, on 02/13/2008, -7/+1Right, after all they were brown and somehow were ENEMY CIVILIANS because Israel hadn't annexed the West Bank yet. You make me sick. If the situation was reversed you would probably recommend reprisal killings to the tune of hundreds of more innocent civilians and not bat an eye.
          • neko6, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1"they were brown" - you are talking American, nobody in Israel cares about skin color.
            "somehow were ENEMY CIVILIANS" - They were civilians in a state that was formally an enemy of Israel and has just killed dozens of Israelis. Thats not "somehow", thats the definition.
            "because Israel hadn't annexed the West Bank yet." - Yeah, because it took another act of aggression from Jordan's side until Israel won the west bank.
            "If the situation was reversed you would probably recommend reprisal killings to the tune of hundreds of more innocent civilians and not bat an eye." - If Israel would have constantly been the aggressive side i would have condemned them. Since Jordan was the aggressive side in that conflict, I don't condemn Israel. Its just like I condemn Nazi Germany and Japan for WW2, even though the allies did some very gray things (Hiroshima nukes, Hamburg fire, Dresden carpet bombing etc.)
            When somebody starts a fight they must be beaten until they surrender and promise never to repeat it. If they start another fight later, drastic measures must be taken. Yes, innocent people suffer, but there's no other way to create peace. If anyone can start a war and attempt to gain something (such as land), but if they lose the war the world community sees that they lose nothing - that is PURE INCENTIVE FOR WAR MONGERING.

            BTW, Jordan later killed 20,000 Palestinians in less then two weeks, but you don't seem to care about that. You only care when people are killed if they are killed by Jews, up to the point that you push a single gray incident of 43 deaths beyond what Egypt's national radio called genocide.
        • givemereplay, on 02/15/2008, -1/+1It's really cute that the Hovevi Zion have hit this article in full force. Go power diggers, attack anyone who disagrees with Israel anexxing territory that doesn't belong to them!
    • foopirata, on 02/13/2008, -4/+21@givemereplay:

      FTA - "Mughniyeh, 45, was Hezbollah's security chief in the 1980s. He was believed to have directed a group that held Westerners hostage in Lebanon. Among them was journalist Terry Anderson, a former Associated Press chief Middle East correspondent who was held captive for six years.Mughniyeh, who had been in hiding for years, was one of the fugitives indicted in the United States for the 1985 hijacking of a TWA airliner in which a U.S. Navy diver was killed. He is on an FBI wanted list with a $25 million bounty on his head. The bounty is equal to that the U.S. has put for Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden.Israel accused him of involvement in the 1992 bombing of Israel's embassy in Argentina in which 29 people were killed and the blast at a Buenos Aires Jewish center two years later that killed 95."

      Gee...he was an angel and it's all Israel's fault, uh?
      • givemereplay, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1He deserved to die for fighting invaders in his land? String up George Washington too, you hypocrite. As to the Buenos Aires bomb, that was in response to the assassination of the leader Abbas al-Musawi by Israeli attack helicopters, killing his sons, wife and four others. Nice guys, these Israelis.

      Or maybe:

      * Mughniyeh wouldn't have blown up Jewish community centers or killed Americans if it wasn't for Israeli imperialism. It's all our fault, anyway.

        We'll all dance in a circle, felate trees and sing Kumba-*****-ya. He was a murderer, he deserved it.

        Grow up, intelligence operations, assassinations on the enemies' homes and political plotting have been around since man decided to stop eating leafs and get down from the trees.
        • Kizilbash, on 02/13/2008, -4/+1Oh, so now it's 'assasinations'? But if they take out one of your top guys then of course it is evil terrorism, isn't it? And the people doing the 'assasination' are not murderers?
          • Aharoni, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3Simple:
            Targeting civilians in order to instill fear in the population (and kill as many "infidels" as possible) = terrorism.
            Targeting those who wish to kill civilians and are actively working to eradicate you and your country from the face of the Earth = assassination.
      • solid12345, on 02/13/2008, -3/+7Palestinians aren't Arabs? More revisionist BS to fake a Palestinian identity. They are Arabs from the Levant, they speak Arabic, have Arabic customs, and before Arafat subscribed to Pan-Arabism.
    • Number23, on 02/13/2008, -3/+14Hey *****-nut, the US made at least two attempts to arrest the guy but France and Saudi Arabia thwarted those attempts.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imad_Mugniyah#Actions ...
      Various law enforcement agencies have attempted to capture Mugniyah. The United States tried to secure his capture in France in 1986, but were thwarted by French refusal to detain him.
      The United States tried to capture him several times afterwards, the first being a 1995 attempt to detain him as the plane he was traveling on was supposed to stop in Saudi Arabia. However, Saudi officials refused to allow the plane to land.

      So STFU, dolt

Be sure to leave an address for where you want the video of the beheading sent. I'd bet you tried out for the football team in High School but were too stupid to be even a tackling dummy.
    • solid12345, on 02/13/2008, -1/+7Hard to arrest someone when they are in hiding. And i'm sure sure it would be easy for Israelis to come into an Arab country and take someone out with cuffs, right?
      • bjornski, on 02/13/2008, -3/+1Maybe we should do that for all wanted criminals.

        The country doesn't want you to come arrest him, or ship him out, so we'll just hop the border and kill them.

        That won't cause any blowback. None at all.

      When dealing with top level known terrorists, I see no reason to wear gloves. Capture is great, because then we can beat some ***** information out of them. But when thats not possible, we need people to hunt these ***** down in whatever hole they live in and kill the ***** out of them.
      • SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/13/2008, -2/+7If we captured him, the same people complaining about him dying would be complaining about him being waterboarded or sent to Guantanamo...

        And it's working.

    • HisStoryUn, on 02/13/2008, -3/+6In war, when an enemy is killed it is never defined or reffered to as an assasination. To state it thusly is to obfuscate the truth of what has occured. One could only infer from your comment that you are at best a sideline simpathizer and at worst one of them. Get a grip. These people would love nothing better than to kill you and everything that you hold dear.

  • jackieokennedy, on 02/13/2008, -17/+8Funny to see Israel and you anti-terrorist suckers praising on a car bombing !

    Disgusting use of terror tactics.

    No matter what the guy did, he surely killed less people than the Israeli or American jet fighters and rockets.

    sick to read people licking off their computer screen after someones death.

    Hope that lebanon finds unity WITH the Hezbollah.
    • lgfaphile, on 02/13/2008, -3/+9One of the wingnuts just spoke up.
      • jackieokennedy, on 02/13/2008, -9/+2you make no sense, please elaborate ...
    • theright, on 02/13/2008, -3/+8If it isn't jackieokennedy (and his sidekick, Zecchetti), the resident terrorist apologizers...
      • jackieokennedy, on 02/13/2008, -7/+2Condemning a car bombing here ... who's the terrorist i ask you ?
        • czman, on 02/13/2008, -1/+6It would have been better if the guy would have been extrodited to the US (direct involvment in the TWA hijacking where a US citizen was killed), or extrodited to Argentina (ties to a sinagog bombing which killed tens of argentinian citizens). unfortunatly this guy was hiding for the last 20 years backed by Syria and Iran. Since there was no way to bring him to justice, what choice did anyone have?

        • theright, on 02/13/2008, -2/+10I suggest you look up "terrorism" in a dictionary.

          This attack was not aimed at, nor carried out with disregard for, civilians. To all intents and purposes, Mughniyeh was a combatant. The attack was not carried out for ideological reasons, nor was it designed to achieve political goals. It was not designed to instill fear or terror in civilians.

          This was the targeted assassination of a known terrorist; a senior official in an internationally-recognised terrorist organisation, implicated in countless terrorist activities from kidnappings to hijackings and everything in-between.
    • dhVyse, on 02/13/2008, -2/+6Hezbollah and unity can't be used in the same sentence. They are a third rate militant group with unstable leadership that has used terrorism in the past to get what they want, and will gladly do it again.
      • jackieokennedy, on 02/13/2008, -8/+2they have huge popular support, they were the only ones standing against , constitution stands that they must be actors of lebanon political process and veto power .... when i say Unity i dont mean "everybody behind Hzb", i mean they should be respected by the international community as a real interlocutor.
        • czman, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1they are not an interlocuter at all. their opening position is "israel should not exist".
      • Zacktopia, on 02/13/2008, -1/+3They are also an in-person nuclear device delivery system in waiting.
  • ivandir, on 02/13/2008, -9/+5Is that the same as saying Hezbollah commander #334454 killed in Syrian Car Bomb? Someone else will take his place unless we reach a peace agreement in the region.
    • poidh, on 02/13/2008, -2/+11There won't be peace until the Jews consent to lying down and dying as per what the Muslims want. Since that will never happen, there will never be peace.
      • jackieokennedy, on 02/13/2008, -11/+3There will be peace when land will we fairly given to thos who need it.
        When water will be shared
        When roadblocks dismantled
        When palestinian can freely move and live where they belong.

        When people can live like human in this region, then there will be peace.

        You cannot ask peace when you're beating on someones head?

        Iit's all about land and freedom man, i only wish peace would come, but the situation is so unfair, you cannot blame these people for fighting. you cannot.
        • nirav72, on 02/13/2008, -2/+15Oh please. I'm no isreali. But I know one thing, isreal has tried hard to make concessions and give them back the land. The palestinians don't want just land. They want to see every single isreali wiped off the map. See how long they survive without isreal's economy. I don't see their brethren in jordan or syria helping out.
        • neko6, on 02/13/2008, -2/+13Hmmm There USED to be no roadblocks and no aggressions and free water and set borders... Then the Arabs attacked and lost land. And then the Arabs attacked and lost more land. And then the Arabs REFUSED TO TAKE THE LAND BACK. And then the Arabs attacked once more.

          Yeah, all Israel's fault. Maybe if they've blown the Arabs to smithereens in the first aggressive move there would have been peace for the last 60 years.
  • solid12345, on 02/13/2008, -8/+33Arabs are so dramatic. "How DARE you assassinate our assassin! The zionist octopus will be destroyed, rant rant rant rant......"
    • benkrembs, on 02/13/2008, -0/+7Yeah, but come on -- Denmark made cartoons that made fun of Mohammad.

      They clearly have legal grounds to destroy the zionist octopus.
  • elpasoGuy, on 02/13/2008, -12/+6What a mess of a world when Government Officials rejoice when they hear of a terroristic act killing off a "enemy" . And please we all know who was behind this ... so you they have to sink down to the level of terror to get things done .... ***** pathetic , why even have diplomacy then , the hell with all governments for that matter right? ...
    • jackieokennedy, on 02/13/2008, -10/+3lebanon is at the verge of a civil war, and all Israel finds to do is a terrorist act, bombing a car in foreign city.
      This is all messed up, helps nothing, except rejoyce some lunatics across the world who get off when they read about an arab dying, and wish to waterboard every single arab just to make sure they're terrorist or not.

      Insane.

      What brain can lead "car bombing, 1 dead " to " yes! good move ! "

      how is that helping ? You're fueling the very fire who ***** stood against israel (america) super army in 2006 with knives and rocks.

      • czman, on 02/13/2008, -0/+7this didn't happen in Lebanon. IT HAPPENED IN SYRIA.

        BIG DIFFERENCE.
        • jackieokennedy, on 02/13/2008, -8/+1.... you're kidding right ?
        • solid12345, on 02/13/2008, -2/+4It did happen in Syria, what does that have to do with Lebanon? Unless you are one of the fools who believes Lebanon belongs to Syria?
    • solid12345, on 02/13/2008, -1/+9This is the double standard of Israel haters. Syria is allowed to occupy Lebanon, and Hezbollah can blow up Israelis, but if Israel occupies Palestine and car bombs Hezbollah they are war criminals.

    • work1, on 02/13/2008, -1/+5A little out of touch with reality are we? Who cares who did it!! The SOB is gone, and along with him any ideas or attacks he may have been planning. I'd like proof though... It may very well be that they staged this to let his trail run cold and drum up another round of strikes against the cruel heartless countries of Israel and USA... In the 2006 Hezbollah / Israeli conflict, 800 "civilians" died, and Israel held back their advance. Well, the guerrillas were using rooftops or homes etc.. to fire their Katusha rockets, which in turn got a retaliation from Israel, justified.. Israel targets fighters, the scum bag Muslims target the innocent civilians.

  • BohicaTwentyTwo, on 02/13/2008, -7/+19Thank you Israel. Keep up the good (wet) work.
  • ElbowGeek, on 02/13/2008, -11/+2Why bother reporting this? It's certain that he's been replaced already and the cycle of needless bloodshed and misery continues with no sign of abating. But even if this is a major blow to Hezbollah, another bunch of nutters has or will take it's place very soon. Why, because they live in a culture of violence and misery that pretty much perpetuates itself as it has for centuries, nay millennia. Only now the bombs are bigger and more destructive.
    If they wanted to end this morass they would have done it already, but they haven't, so they don't. As far as I'm concerned, they can go on doing this til the end of time as long as they don't bother me with their madness. Stop posting news stories on the subject and call me when when they've decided that the little spat they've had for the past x-thousand years, the reason for which they completely forgotten, has finally ended.
    Thank you.
    • jackieokennedy, on 02/13/2008, -4/+2Yes, America and Israel live in a culture of Violence.
      Unlike Hezbollah they're not fighting for their land and their survival.

      No matter what Hezbollah do, they will always be less evil than Israel and the United States, count the deads, man, count the deads ... you'll see who kills who ...

      But i do agree, we need a real diplomatic understanding, we need people to talk in the region, not blow cars in the street, not bomb cities and airports, not put people in man made prisons.

      Insane.

      I hope Lebanon stands strong after this tragic event, and find unity, with the Hezbollah participation and their popular support against injustice.
      • HisStoryUn, on 02/13/2008, -2/+1Kumbaya will get you killed. Diplomatic understanding indeed...
      • solid12345, on 02/13/2008, -1/+6Hezbollah fights for its survival? Israel pulled out of southern Lebanon in 2000, yet Hezbollah struck Israel once again?

        The party of resistance has no excuse to exist if there is nothing left to resist against.
      • work1, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2Are you kidding? Israel has been fighting for their survival since 1948. We, the greatest, most just country there ever was, USA, win a war and give the land back to the conquered people to have them govern it. Hezbollah, Al Queda / Islam wants to crush anyone that disagrees with them, look at Africa, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Iraq do I need to go on? Get off your thumb, you coward, and go out and thank a Marine for your right to be an idiot...

      • Iconoclast25, on 02/13/2008, -3/+2Gladly swap the population of Israel for any 50 million dimocraps in this country and give the Israelis, say, the PRK, PRNJ or some other deep blue state which currently has very little to recommend it. That would be at least a 'twofer.' The jihadists would have all their friends right next door and the US would have an immediate improvement in the domestic gene pool.
    • Kizilbash, on 02/13/2008, -10/+3***** you. Without the Israeli invasion into Lebanon there would have been no Hezbollah. Israel is perfectly capable of creating its own enemies.

    • ssa12, on 02/15/2008, -6/+0Here is a little info on something that my family has seen Israel do. Now i don't report this to take sides but just for informational purpose only. I am a Pali but first i am human so i take only the side of humanity and not of race, culture, religion etc. There will always be wars and there will always be one person in power, that's life. When my mother was in Palestine in a town called Ramallah in the six day war she told me that the Israelis would rape the women and they almost got my aunt but she ran faster then the soldiers. I guess that's where i get my speed from. :-) The rest is what a typical power hungry human would do like beating and humiliating etc... Ladies and gentlemen until we see all people as equal there will always be conflict. No point in even discuss
