Talal Hamiyah (Arabic: طلال حمية; born 1952) is a Lebanese militant leader. A senior military commander in Hezbollah since its founding in the early 1980s. He heads Hezbollah's External Security Organization (ESO), also known as Unit 910, which is responsible for planning and executing terrorist activities outside Lebanon.[1] He is associated with terror attacks such as the 1994 AMIA bombing and 1996 Khobar Towers bombing. In 2017, the U.S. added Hamiyah to its Rewards for Justice Program, offering $7 million for information leading to his arrest. Since 2008 he is a senior member of Jihad Council.
