Sleeper Hizbullah cells activated

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.

Hizbullah has attacked Jewish and Israeli targets abroad in the past. The organization is believed to have been behind the attack on the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992 during which a suicide bomber drove a pick-up truck filled with explosives into the building, killing 29 people and wounding 242, following Israel's assassination of the group's leader at the time, Sheikh Abbas Musawi.

11. What does LBN Mean? Sorry about newbie Q (nt)

[DoYouEverWonder]

13. It's short for the name of this section of the forum

Latest Breaking News.

The rules for LBN are different then for the other forums. An original thread must be from a credible news source and usually JP is not considered a reliable primary source.

4. Oh goodie! Maybe everyone can overreact

and we can get it on with dubya,dubya,III. This whole situation has been out of control from the git go. Where are the diplomats in this world? Certainly none here in the USA, we love a good old fashioned gun fight in the OK Corral. Just some more cowboy diplomacy (in other words none) from this bunch. :sarcasm:

8. I don't believe it! This is just more fear-mongering to keep people under

control, frightened of the big boogie man.

I hate that this certain group acts so almighty and that they "know" everything.

12. The big boggie man..

The big boggie man already shot 1500+ rockets on Israel towns and then promised on TV more surprises. Is this also just fear-mongering?

I am amazed how the Lebanese are harboring terrorists (first the PLO and now Hesbolla) and then they complain when the victims of those terrorists attack back.

9. Oh does this play into Rove's hands

Get ready for terror alerts to scare America

[smacky44]

10. I am wondering if this info has anythinng to do with why Hizbollah seemed

really prepared for this Israeli incursion?
