Key Hezbollah Jihadist Bites The Big One

Smiles all the way around here today folks! The Hezbollah jihadist reponsible for such acts of terror as the bombing of the Marines barracks in Lebanon and the 1992 bombing of the Israeli bombing in Argentina, Imad Mughniyeh, was killed in Syria and is no longer infesting our planet.
Details are a bit sketchy but there was a vehicle explosion in Damascus and the end result was this announcement by Hezbollah:

"With all pride we declare a great jihadist leader of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon joining the martyrs ... The brother commander hajj Imad Mughinyeh became a martyr at the hands of the Zionist Israelis,"

Mughniyeh was on top of a most wanted list by both America and Israel and literally had been in hiding for years - of course, Syria has always been a safe haven for Hezbollah no matter how willing Nancy Pelosi is to go there and "negotiate." Now, if Israel did make this reach out and take out this pissant, then that is fantastic news and the type of action that I've been calling for. Sure, it's great to be rid of this jihadist and wonderful news that he has finally paid the price for his sins against humanity, but the key here is the signal this sends. And I hope that every Hezbollah and Hamas leader is shaking just a little more in their boots this morning. Hopefully, Hezbollah's Nasrallah won't sleep a wink tonight.

Here's the full story from Breitbart.

Hezbollah: Top Militant Killed

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - Fugitive militant Imad Mughniyeh, a top U.S. target suspected in the killings of hundreds of Americans as well as a series of infamous strikes against U.S., Israeli and Jewish targets, was killed by Israeli agents, Hezbollah said Wednesday.
The militant group did not say how he died, but an Iranian government- owned television station said he was killed in a recent car bomb in Syria. His killing would be a significant blow to Hezbollah, which fought the Israelis in the 2006 war in Lebanon, and its Iranian and Syrian backers.
Israel's government declined comment on the matter.
Mughniyeh, who had 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. He was also suspected of masterminding attacks that killed more than 200 Americans in Lebanon in the 1980s when he was then the Iranian-backed Hezbollah's security chief.
Mughniyeh, 45, is also believed by Israel to have been 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 center two years later that killed 95.

The announcement came a few hours after a late night explosion in Damascus destroyed a vehicle. Witnesses in the Syrian capital said at the time that a passerby was killed as security forces sealed off the area and removed the body, but authorities there would not give details.
Iran's English-language satellite station Press TV on Wednesday said the person slain in the Damascus explosion turned out to be Mughniyeh. It said an Iranian school and a Syrian intelligence office were in the same area of Kafar Soussa where the explosion occurred.
Mughinyeh's killing is the first major attack against a leader of Hezbollah since the 1992 helicopter strike that killed the Hezbollah secretary-general Sheik Abbas Mussawi in southern Lebanon.
If Israel proves to be involved in the assassination it would mark a bold move by the Israelis inside Syria.
