Mustafa Dirani

Mustafa Dirani (Arabic: مصطفى الديراني; born 1951) is a former head of security in the Amal Movement in Lebanon. In 1987, he started reaching out to pro-Iran sources, and eventually established contact between them and the rest of the Amal leadership. He was eventually expelled from Amal and established his own organization, the "Believing Resistance".

Captured by Israeli forces in 1994, Dirani was held until a 2004 prisoner swap.
