Mughniyah Wounded?

According to Geostrategy-Direct(registration required), Imad Mughniyah, the Hizbullah mastermind terrorist who was responsible for the attack on the Marine barracks in Beirut in 1982, as well as numerous Israeli and Jewish targets has been seriously wounded.
Mughniyah, the foreign liaison and intelligence chief for Hizbullah, attended a Hizbullah meeting of commanders on July 19 when Israeli fighter-jets struck their headquarters in southern Beirut. Western intelligence sources said part of the command bunker collapsed, killing or wounding most of the dozen people inside.
If this is actually true, it would be a big blow to Hizbullah's terrorist operations. Mughniyah was also in charge of delivering weapons to the Palestinians, including organizing the Karine-A weapons shipment. Israel is also saying that more than 40 high-ranking Hizbullah commanders have been killed, though they haven't identified exactly who.
