Hezbollah Sleeper Cells Activated – On Standby
by John Little on 24/07/2006The story may be a bit dramatic but the threat is real. What will a group like Hezbollah do if pushed into a corner?
Hizbullah “sleeper” terror cells set up outside Lebanon with Iranian assistance have been put on standby The Jerusalem Post learned on Sunday, and are likely planning attacks against Jewish and Israeli targets throughout the world.
The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) confirmed to the Post Sunday night that it had instructed embassies, consulates and Jewish institutions it was responsible for abroad to raise their level of awareness in light of the conflict in the North.
The assumption within Military Intelligence is that Hizbullah would only attack targets abroad if it felt pushed into a corner. According to this thinking, the Islamist group hesitates to carry out such attacks because it does not want to be associated with Global Jihad and al-Qaida.
Hezbollah doesn’t want to be associated with Global Jihad and al-Qaida? Too late guys.
