Yes, Khomeni and Khamenei. They have issued fatwa on the head of Salman
Rushdie and some other guys. Some Iranian opposition were killed by
their fatwas both in Iran and Europe. These are acts of terrorism.
During Iran/Iraq war, Khomeni and Rafsanjani issued some fatwas against
Iraq and Iraqis, I cannot remember the details.

Is there a specific ayatollah who has said it is permissible to attack
non-combatant civilians in jihad?

Generally speaking it has not been the clerics who have been
encouraging acts of terrorism. Bin Laden, for instance is not an Imam
by profession, he was a building contractor. Indeed, a lot of the
jihadists despise the traditional 'ulama.
In Shia Islam it seems those are the clergies (ayattolahs) who have issued
fatwas for Jehad and other terrorism acts. And I think in general Shia
clergies are much more powerful than their Sunni counterparts.
