The New York Times must have them after it practically bemoaned the death on Tuesday of Imad Muhgniyeh, a Hezbollah arch-terrorist who was killed in a car bombing on Tuesday: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/14/world/middleeast/14syria.html?_r=2&ref=world&oref=slogin&oref=slogin. Here is he NYT headline: "Bomb in Syria Kills Militant Sought as Terrorist". Hmm.........a militant sought as a terrorist, eh? Well, let's see what this "militant" did during his all-too-long life:
1) Masterminded the bombing of the Marine Barracks, U.S. Embassy and French military barracks in 1983, killing a total of 362 people.
2) He was behind the highjacking of TWA Flight 847, during which navy diver Robert Stethem was beaten, killed, and then dumped on an airport tarmac.
3) Orchestrated the kidnapping, torturing and killing of William Buckley, the CIA station cheif in Beirut.
4) Planned the 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires in which 29 people died.
5) Directed the bombing in 1994 of the Buenos Aires Jewish Community Center, killing 85 people.
The grand total for this sorry excues for a human being? 478 innocent lives lost. I'd say that he was more than a "militant sought as a terrorist", New York Times.
