Imad Mughniyeh, Hizbullah's chief of operations, was considered over the past 25 years one of the world's most-wanted terrorists, involved in endless attacks against Israel and the United States, including the abduction of two IDF reservists in 2006 and the bombing of US embassies in Africa.
Mughniyeh was co-founder of Hizbullah'
in 1976 he joined Force 17 as a sniper targeting Christians on the Green Line dividing West and East Beirut.
The first terror attack he was implicated for was the 1983 bombings of the US Embassy and barracks housing US Marines and French paratroopers who were part of the Multinational Force in Lebanon. Some 350 people were killed.
In 1985, Mughniyeh was believed to have been one of the terrorists who took hostage a TWA flight on its way from Athens to Rome.
On October 10, 2001 Mughniyeh appeared on the FBI's first "Top 22 Most Wanted Terrorists" list. A reward of $5 million was offered for information leading to his capture.

He was wanted for the bombings of the Israeli embassy and the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in 1992 and 1994 [that left 29 and 85 people dead], as well as a wave of abductions of Westerns in Lebanon in the 1980s.
