Wanted Hizbullah Commander Killed in Syria
(AFP) Fawzi Ayoub, a leading Hizbullah commander in the Aleppo area, was killed fighting in Syria, AFP learned Tuesday. The FBI's website says Ayoub was indicted in the U.S. in 2009 for "willfully and knowingly" trying to enter Israel with a fake U.S. passport "for the purpose of conducting a bombing." Ayoub, who had lived in Canada, was arrested in Israel in 2000. He was released three years later in a prisoner swap with Hizbullah. Mahmud Hayek, another Hizbullah member suspected of trying to assassinate Lebanese MP Boutros Harb in 2012, was killed fighting in Syria in a separate incident.
