Al Qaeda in Lebanon says report
10/01/2007

Occupied Jerusalem: Al Qaeda has sent large numbers of people to Lebanon, Syria and Egpyt, according to a report in an Israeli newspaper. Israel's military intelligence chief Major General Amos Yadlin told a meeting of the Knesset (parliament) Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that “dozens” of al Qaeda operatives had arrived in Lebanon.

He was quoted by the local paper Yedioth Ahronoth as saying: "Dozens, if not hundreds, of al-Qaida operatives arrived in Lebanon. “These operatives are trained and have terror knowledge. According to estimates, the organization's number two Ayman Al Zwahiri gave orders to operatives to spread in Syria, Lebanon and Egypt," he added.

He warned that there could be attacks in the near future on United Nations peacekeeping forces in Lebanon as well as Western targets.
