Имад Мугния. Человек без лица, за которым охотились двадцать пять лет

The morning of October 23, 1983. A yellow truck crashes at full speed into the American Marine barracks in Beirut. Two hundred and forty-one dead in a matter of seconds, the bloodiest day for the US Marine Corps since Iwo Jima. Intelligence agencies will spend years trying to determine who is behind this and dozens of similar terrorist attacks. And time after time, one name will emerge – a man of whom there are almost no photographs. This episode covers the entire life of Imad Mughniyeh: from a poor Shiite village in southern Lebanon and Yasser Arafat's personal security detail to his position as Hezbollah's de facto chief of staff. He hijacked planes and kidnapped Soviet diplomats. He waged a personal war to free his cousin, imprisoned in Kuwait. Failed capture attempts involving American special forces and an entire naval squadron. And the denouement: an explosion on a Damascus street on the evening of February 12, 2008, a confession for which was made only sixteen years later. In the video: • The Lebanese Civil War and the transformation of a former teenager into an operative; • The bombings of the US Embassy and peacekeepers' barracks in 1983; • The personal story behind the hijacking of TWA Flight 847; • The kidnapping of Soviet diplomats and the KGB operation to free them; • The failed CIA and US Navy operations to capture Mughniyeh; • Terrorist attacks in Argentina and accusations against the Argentine justice system; • The special operation in Damascus and its confirmation by Ehud Olmert in 2024; • What happened to the heirs of the Mughniyeh case – from Mustafa Badreddine to Qasem Soleimani.
