The Importance of Imad Mughniyeh


The assassination of top Shite militant Imad Mughniyeh is important for many reasons, not the least of which was his long-standing ties to Osama bin Laden and the al Qaeda network and his crucial role as a link between the Iranian special forces and Hezbollah.

It is also interesting to note that Hezbollah, where Mughniyeh was a top strategist for many years, claimed him as their own immediately upon his death, despite denying responsibility in several of the actions for which he is most famous.

As Rohan Gunaratna wrote in his seminal book Inside al Qaeda, it was Mughniyeh’s pioneering use of suicide truck bombs used in Lebanon in 1983 to bomb the Marine barracks and inflict mass casualties, was the model Osama bin Laden most wanted to emulate.

“It was Mughniyeh who inspired Osama to develop coordinated, simultaneous attacks as a regular modus operandi, and this has been the hallmark of most subsequent al Qaeda operations, including 9/11 and the East Africa bombings…,” Gunaratna wrote. “Mughniyeh, who was especially close to the Iranians, helped al Qaeda develop its agent-handling system, having specialized in conducting long range operations.”

According to Gunaratna and the court testimony of Jamal al Fadl and others, Mugniyah and bin Laden met numerous times in Sudan, when bin Laden and al Qaeda were based there under the protection of the Muslim Brotherhood-led government.

In addition, Mugniyah authorized the visit of an al Qaeda delegation to Lebanon for training, and help al Qaeda acquire explosives from Iran that were used in the 1998 East African embassy bombings.

This period of close Hezbollah-al Qaeda cooperation appears to have ended in the late 1990s, although Iran’s well-documented protection of senior al Qaeda leaders after the 9/11 attacks shows that all ties were not severed. Mughniyeh, who operated both for Hezbollah and more directly for Iran’s special forces, most likely brokered that cooperation.

The cause of the cooling of relations is not clear. The flirtation with a pan-Islamist movement that crossed the Sunni-Shite divide, was never fully realized.

But what is clear is that al Qaeda owes a great deal to the help, vision and training of Mungniyah. The use of suicide bombers in vehicles (cars, trucks, aircraft) was a revolutionary step in the jihadist terms of warfare in the modern age.

In addition to these and other well-documented activities, Mugniyah has been, for more than a decade, one of the chief Hezbollah overseers of that group’s involvement in the “blood diamond” trade in West and Central Africa.

He was a visitor to Ivory Coast, long an R&R destination for Hezbollah leaders, and may have helped al Qaeda establish it presence in the diamond trade centered in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

So, Mughniyeh may be gone, but we are seeing his legacy daily in Iraq, Afghanistan and other jihadist struggles. He died violently as he lived violently. So do many others because of his work.

A Master Terrorist Is Killed
http://blackfive.net/

According to multiple press accounts, Iran’s and Hezbollah’s master terrorist, Imad Mugniyah, is dead. He was reportedly killed by a car bomb in Damascus last night. Hezbollah is claiming that he was killed by the Israelis. But the Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert, disputed Hezbollah’s version: “Israel rejects any attempt by terrorist organisations to attribute to it any implication in this affair.”

Thus far, the press accounts I’ve read have done a decent job of summarizing Mugniyah’s early terrorist career in the 1980’s. Mugniyah’s involvement in the bombings of the U.S. Embassy (April 18, 1983) and the Marine barracks (October 23,1983) in Lebanon, which led to the U.S. retreat from that nation, is well known. Mugniyah’s role in a string of additional attacks including the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 (June 14, 1985) and the kidnapping and murder of various Americans is also widely known.

But here is something that none of the press accounts I’ve read today have reported: Imad Mugniyah played an instrumental role in al Qaeda’s rise. I detailed Mugniyah’s role in al Qaeda’s terror in Iran’s Proxy War Against America, a short book published by the Claremont Institute last year. I won’t go into all of the details again in this post, but here is a quick summary of the relationship:

• Mugniyah met with Osama bin Laden in Sudan in the early 1990’s. The two agreed to work together against their common enemies, including America. Al Qaeda operatives were then trained by Mugniyah and other Hezbollah trainers, as well as Iranian personnel, in Sudan, Lebanon, and Iran. Both the Clinton administration, in its first two indictments of al Qaeda and bin Laden, and the 9/11 Commission found significant evidence of this early collaboration.

• According to Bob Baer, a long-time CIA operative who tracked Mugniyah for years, one of Mugniyah’s goons facilitated the travel of an al Qaeda operative en route to the November 19, 1995, bombing of the Egyptian Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan. The bombing was among al Qaeda’s earliest operations.

• There is no real doubt that Iran and Mugniyah’s Hezbollah were primarily responsible for the June 1996 Khobar Towers bombing. But the 9/11 Commission also found evidence that al Qaeda may have played some role. Intelligence indicates that al Qaeda was planning a similar operation in the months prior. And afterwards, in telephone conversations that were evidently intercepted, Osama bin Laden received congratulations from his fellow terrorists, including Ayman al Zawahiri.




• Al Qaeda’s August 7, 1998, embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania were modeled after Mugniyah’s bombings in Lebanon in 1983. According to the 9/11 Commission, bin Laden asked Mugniyah for help in executing such attacks and Mugniyah agreed to provide his assistance. Thereafter, al Qaeda adopted Hezbollah’s modus operandi: simultaneous attacks by suicide bombers. Al Qaeda’s August 7, 1998, bombings directly mirrored Hezbollah’s simultaneous strike against the U.S. Marine barracks and a headquarters for French paratroopers on October 23, 1983. In fact, the 9/11 Commission found that some of the terrorists responsible for the embassy bombings were trained by Hezbollah. This is a crucial point: al Qaeda’s most successful attack prior to 9/11--the August 7, 1998, embassy bombings--was modeled after Hezbollah’s operations.

• After the 9/11 attacks, Bob Baer immediately suspected that Mugniyah and his masters had played some role. (I also discussed this in a previous article, "Sy Hersh’s Overactive Imagination".) Amazingly, the 9/11 Commission found that senior Hezbollah operatives were aware of and facilitated the travel of many of the 9/11 hijackers. This evidence was so “disturbing” that the Commission called for a further investigation into the matter. Although he was not named by the Commission directly, Mugniyah was reportedly one of the senior Hezbollah terrorists involved.

• There are reports, although unconfirmed, that Mugniyah may have helped senior al Qaeda operatives flee Afghanistan in late 2001.

There is much more to this story, which can be found in my short book on the topic: Iran’s Proxy War Against America.

See, that is normally my post following the demise of yet another douchebag terrorist. This, however, is different. Imad Mughniyah was not yet another douchebag terrorist. He was the single most important terrorist of modern times.

A brief history to get some of you caught up: Prior to September 11th, 2001, Hizballah and Imad Mughniyah, through his position as head of external operations for Hizballah, were responsible for the overwhelming majority of American terroirst related deaths. An abbreviated list:

It is magnificent that 30 years of terrorist corporate knowledge evaporated in Damascus yesterday. That, in itself, is a major victory in the war on terror. The innovator who brought us very successful plane hijackings, simultaneous suicide VBIEDs and Bekka Valley training. He is also the most likely person to have provided al Qaida with some of the know how to pull off some of its attacks.

What makes his death so significant is that he was considered by many to be unkillable. He was a PERSEC and OPSEC fanatic. He knew that the second he let up his guard, someone would be there to kill him. He never let down his guard. He was killed on his home turf; in one of his safe zones by a bomb in his car. The fact that the unkillable Imad Mughniyah is now dead at the hands of talented assassins means that every terrorist who has ever known him is shitting their pants. Every terrorist's OODA loop just got a whole lot wider and slower because they are going to have to be even more careful than they already are. That means they either stop what they are doing or the fuck up and die. Two very acceptable outcomes, to me anyway.

And while there will be another terrorist to kill tomorrow, let us savor this victory and thank whatever unnamed souls carried out this attack ridding us of one of the worst people of all time. You can say 'next' tomorrow. I'm going to the gym and then I'm going to drink some Guinness in memory of everyone listed above, and all the others this fucking shit killed.

From Stratfor.com;

Summary

The Feb. 12 killing of Hezbollah operations chief Imad Mughniyah by the Israeli Mossad required a high level of tactical intelligence regarding Mughniyah’s location and movements; it also called for boots on the ground in Damascus with “eyes on” to detonate the bomb remotely.

Analysis

Hezbollah’s chief of operations, Imad Mughniyah, was killed Feb. 12 when an improvised explosive device (IED) placed on or inside a car was detonated at around 10:40 p.m. local time Feb. 12, approximately 700 yards east of the Cham City Center in the Kafer Soseh area of Damascus, Syria. Stratfor sources in the region say Hajj Hussein Khalil, the deputy secretary-general of Hezbollah’s political wing, was also killed in the blast, as were several bodyguards, though other reports have not verified the additional casualties.

The killing required a high level of tactical intelligence regarding Mughniyah’s location and movements; it also called for an operational unit on the ground with “eyes on” to detonate the bomb remotely. The remote detonation also provided the operational team with distance to assist in their escape.

At the time of the strike, Mughniyah was returning to a vehicle after meeting with Hamas and Syrian intelligence operatives. The timing of the attack, including the placement of the explosive, required intelligence about the meeting time and location. While it is possible that the information was captured via signal intercepts, Hezbollah and Syrian intelligence employ signal security that should have been good enough to prevent such a leak. Further, Mughniyah himself was known for very tight operational security, and slipping up by allowing Israel or others to intercept radio or telephone chatter does not seem to fit his profile. He successfully evaded numerous other Israeli attempts to track him down.

Thus it is likely that there was information flowing from someone intimately aware of the details of the meeting — and that means Mossad has likely penetrated Hezbollah, Hamas or Syrian intelligence. The most likely candidate is Hamas: the Israelis have long had the capability and experience to penetrate Palestinian groups. However, the Syrian regime is reshuffling its security apparatus throughout the country, which could reflect a recognition that Israel had penetrated Syrian intelligence; it could also have created a need for Israel to act quickly before a key asset got moved to the countryside. Either way, the hit will spread distrust throughout the Syrian intelligence apparatus, and within and between Hezbollah and Hamas, adding a layer of confusion to that already created by the death of a key liaison between Iran and Hezbollah.

The attack also required placement of operatives and equipment in the Syrian capital. The IED was placed either on an existing car or on a car positioned by the agents themselves along the path Mughniyah would take from his meeting to his own vehicle. (There are conflicting reports as to whether the bomb was in Mughniyah’s car itself or in another car along his route.) Due to the vagaries of his schedule, the bomb would have had to be command-detonated as he passed by. Operationally, the simplest way to do this is the insertion of a vehicle containing a shaped charged IED in close proximity, rather than trying to get to Mughniyah’s vehicle ahead of time and running the risk of capture or detection. The Mossad utilized a similar tactic in the 1979 Beirut assassination of Ali Hassan Salameh, aka Abu Hassan, the operational leader of the Black September Organization. In that case, a vehicle was placed along his route of travel and was detonated remotely by an operative stationed in an apartment overlooking the route.

This required boots on the ground in Damascus — a significant breach of Syria’s security. With the strike on the suspected nuclear facility in eastern Syria in September 2007, and the hit against Mugniyah in Damascus, Israel is showing it has the ability and will to act with impunity inside Syria.

This leaves Syria looking weak; it will require Damascus to second-guess its own security and undertake a significant review and reshuffle of its intelligence, counter-intelligence and security apparatus. In the meantime, Hezbollah will be ramping up for a retaliatory strike.

Actually it exposes the fact that the Iranian intell services are not as good as they had seemed last summer. He was a protected Iranian asset and they had put an umbrella around him for yrs, even going so far as to conduct numerous facial reconstructions on him and sponsoring him directly with funding and intell.

He is now the latest in a slowly increasing line of Iranian proxeys who have met a sudden death in the past few months.

Well, it shows the effectiveness of an intelligence service that looks like their enemies, has an affinity for foreign languages, can blend into different cultures, and is ruthless.

Just like the CIA! :D

If you don't know the true effectiveness of the CIA, and I am willing to bet substantial amounts of money that you do not, how about you lay off the typing and give yourself some peace?

I heard Bob Baer giving commentary on BBC yesterday on the subject. He mentioned that he had been offered several opportunities to carbomb Mughniyeh by the Lebanese. His speculation was that this was a subcontracted hit. He doubted that Mossad could have gotten personnel so close in the AO, but could have easily used Lebanese assets.

With celebration now behind us, I urge everyone to be extra vigilant for the next 6-8 weeks. After the last assassination of a Hizballah official, it took about a month to carry out several retaliatory attacks.

While the US had nothing to do with his death, Hizballah may not believe that (and even if they did, this is a good excuse to act). So, stand by. Beware of PJCC style attacks in Iraq, car bombings at US military and diplomatic facilities and, above all, soft targets abroad: social places where expats meet up.

I'd be especially careful in South America. And no, I don't know of anything specific or any warnings specific to South America, I am just saying. You don't normally think about South America when the topic of Hezbollah comes up but they are all over down there.

Jimbo,

From beginning to end, well said. Mugniyeh was a thorn for quite some time. As you said, the celebration is behind us.

It is magnificent that 30 years of terrorist corporate knowledge evaporated in Damascus yesterday. That, in itself, is a major victory in the war on terror. The innovator who brought us very successful plane hijackings, simultaneous suicide VBIEDs and Bekka Valley training. He is also the most likely person to have provided al Qaida with some of the know how to pull off some of its attacks.

What makes his death so significant is that he was considered by many to be unkillable. He was a PERSEC and OPSEC fanatic. He knew that the second he let up his guard, someone would be there to kill him. He never let down his guard. He was killed on his home turf; in one of his safe zones by a bomb in his car. The fact that the unkillable Imad Mughniyah is now dead at the hands of talented assassins means that every terrorist who has ever known him is shitting their pants. Every terrorist's OODA loop just got a whole lot wider and slower because they are going to have to be even more careful than they already are. That means they either stop what they are doing or the fuck up and die. Two very acceptable outcomes, to me anyway.

And while there will be another terrorist to kill tomorrow, let us savor this victory and thank whatever unnamed souls carried out this attack ridding us of one of the worst people of all time. You can say 'next' tomorrow. I'm going to the gym and then I'm going to drink some Guinness in memory of everyone listed above, and all the others this fucking shit killed.
A toast to a job well done and a death well deserved!

Thanks for posting the information, Jimbo, and to you as well AL for providing the information on the French losses as well...

Stay safe out there if you are anywhere that the Hez is likely to attempt to reach out and touch someone...

The telephone rang early yesterday morning. My husband Patrick was leaving for work, having been kissed quickly and told to drive carefully. I hurried back to the kitchen to answer the phone before the ringing woke the children. The information delivered by the voice of a friend in tears took my breath and I raced back to the garage to find my husband.

"Imad Mugniyah is dead."

Imad Mugniyah is, most tragically, a Stethem household name. His career of terror and exploits of destruction are well known to our family. One incident in particular is all too close to home. Imad Mugniyah was the Hezbollah mastermind of the 1985 TWA Flight 847 hijacking during which U.S. Navy Diver Robert Dean Stethem was brutally tortured and then murdered.

The memory of Robert's bravery and heroism during his ordeal was formally recognized and forever preserved for posterity in the commissioning of the USS Stethem, an Aegis class guided missile destroyer. The ship motto is "Steadfast and Courageous," a fitting tribute to this brave American son lost all too soon. The list of Imad Mugniyah's acts of hatred is heartbreaking. In addition to the 1985 TWA hijacking, Mugniyah was responsible for the planning and execution of such acts of terror as the1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, the U.S. Embassy bombings in Beirut, the 1992 bombings of the Israeli Embassy in Argentina, the 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, the kidnapping and torture of CIA station chief in Beirut William Buckley, the kidnapping and the murder of marine Colonel Richard Higgins. Mugniyah was wanted in more than 40 countries, including America and Israel. At the top of the FBI's most wanted terrorist list, the bounty on his head was $25,000,000.

As my husband held the phone and listened quietly, his expression was one of both relief and reserve.

There is, of course, the hesitancy of the civilized mind in the actual rejoicing over the death of another human being. That being said, this particular death is one for which we are thankful and in which we find relief. The future will not be plagued by Mugniyah's black heart of contempt for the West and our allies. His work is over. Not another grave is to be filled by the work of his hand. Not another mother will drop to her knees, groaning in shock and disbelief as a result of his wicked ambition.

There is something satisfying in that the demise of Imad Mugniyah came two days before the third anniversary of the February 14, 2005 assassination of the former prime minister of Lebanon, Rafik Hariri. Hariri was killed by explosives as his motorcade passed the Saint George Hotel in Beirut. Hariri was a friend of the West and a harsh and very open critic of Syria's domination of Lebanon. Blame for the loss of Prime Minister Hariri rests at the feet at Hezbollah and Syria.

A mastermind of terror, the right arm of Hezbollah, a bomb maker, Imad Mugniyah lived by the sword. It is fitting that he would meet the same kind of violent fate as did so many of his victims. This time, the blood on his hands was his own.

The evil mind that planned and implemented one scenario of terror, death, and destruction after another finally has been stilled. Hell's gates have swung wide open and swallowed one whom earth has regurgitated. He will not be comforted and his cries will be unheard. Imad Mugniyah is now denied the same mercy that he refused his victims.

The death of Imad Mugniyah does not bring back Robert Stethem. That son was ripped from his parents, snatched from his sister and brothers. He is a distant memory to one nephew and but a revered shadow to his other nephew and nieces. The murder of Robert Stethem was a devastating loss to his family. But it is the knowledge of Rob's unspeakably brutal suffering that was and remains their agony. Time heals the sting of a personal loss. What time cannot touch is an imagination haunted by thoughts of a loved one's torture for 15 hours, alone, on the other side of the world without a chance to be kissed goodbye or to be told how very much he would be missed.

This development cannot reach back into the past and dry tears or unwrench hearts. It does, however, soften the present. It does, however, brighten the future. At long last, it feels like a new day.

Katherine Stethem is married to Patrick Stethem, brother of the late Robert Dean Stethem.
