For years, Hezbollah’s Imad Mughniyeh remained a ghost. Many had heard of him but only a few had met him outside the inner circles of his organization. Even then he wasn’t known by his real name, but rather by his alias, Hajj Radwan.
Even within the ranks of Hezbollah, many didn’t know that their military commander was the same Imad Mughniyeh who topped, alongside Osama bin Laden, the world's "most wanted" lists. It was only on Feb. 13, 2008, that they discovered who Hajj Radwan really was, when Al-Manar TV reported that he had been assassinated in Damascus by a car bomb the day prior.
