Did Bomb And Karma Catch Up With Terrorist

Is the death of Imad Mughniyah a karmic act for his past deeds, or just another assassination of someone to take attention away from real threats, and terrorists.

It took the assassination of Imad Mughniyah for the world to finally get a glimpse of what this most elusive and ruthless of Islamic militants actually looked like. He lived in the shadows of Middle Eastern violence his entire adult life, allegedly altering his features through plastic surgery, travelling on an Iranian diplomatic passport on unscheduled flights and never giving interviews or releasing video-taped statements. The only pictures of Mughniyah, 45, publicly available were a few grainy black and white snaps from the 1980s, portraying a serious, sallow-faced young man with a black pointed beard.

Hours after announcing his death in a car bomb blast in a Damascus suburb, the Shi'ite Hizballah organization's television channel, Al Manar, broadcast a more recent picture of Mughniyah. It showed a plump, middle-aged man wearing combat fatigues and a forage cap and sporting a thick beard streaked with grey. His wire-framed spectacles gave him a benign, almost professorial, look, belying the fact that Mughniyah stood accused of killing more Americans than any other militant before the attacks of September 11, 2001.

It will be interesting to see "who" actually killed this "terrorist", and also to find out if all of the events he was blamed for committing, were actually his handiwork, or if he was just a convenient scapegoat to drop everything on. We shall watch and report if anything substantive comes of the investigation!! So did Karma catch up with this alleged "terrorist", or was it just a bomb??!!
