Mugniyeh is on the FBI’s “Most Wanted Terrorists” list for his role in a series of high-profile attacks against the West, including the 1985 hijacking of a TWA jet and murder of one of its passengers, a US navy diver.Now in his mid-forties, Mugniyeh is reported to have travelled with Ahmadinejad in January this year from Teheran to Damascus, where the Iranian president met leaders of Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and Hamas.
