Syria Deploys Three Military Divisions on the Border with Lebanon
Syria has deployed three military divisions along the borders with Lebanon amidst mounting tension in the region, press reports said Sunday.
The leading daily an-Nahar attributed the report to well informed sources, noting that the deployment backs a similar massing of fighters by pro-Syrian Palestinian factions in the Bekaa valley, especially Ahmed Jibril’s Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) in the Qoussayah area.
The development followed Hizbullah’s open war declaration against Israel after the Feb. 12 assassination in Damascus of the party’s Imad Mughniyeh by a bomb explosion.
Hizbullah is sponsoring a major rally in south Beirut’s suburb of Rweis on Monday to commemorate Mughniyeh, labeled commander of the “two victories” in reference to the Liberation of south Lebanon from Israeli occupation in May 2000 and the 34-day war against Israel in the summer of 2006.
Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has pledged that “thousands of Imad Mughniyehs would confront the Zionist enemy if it invades Lebanon.”
Israel has ordered its troops on alert to confront a possible attack by Hizbullah operatives when the party marks Mughniyeh’s memorial rally on Monday, 40 days after his assassination.

“’Syrian silence on Mughniyeh sign of tension with Hizbullah’”
By HERB KEINON AND YAAKOV KATZ
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Syria’s reticence in blaming Israel for killing arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh, despite Hizbullah’s claims of having “100 percent proof” that Israel was involved, indicates that the issue is causing some friction between Syria and the Lebanese guerrilla group, according to assessments in Jerusalem.
Last month, Syria announced that it was launching an investigation into Mughniyeh’s assassination, but has so far not released any findings. This has raised eyebrows in Jerusalem, especially since Hizbullah’s Deputy Secretary-General Naim Kassem categorically blamed Israel over the weekend for the February car-bombing.”

Iraq unrest casus belli for Lebanon war?
Tue, 25 Mar 2008 21:37:56
The Israeli media accuses Hezbollah of involvement in fighting with US troops in southern Iraq amid fierce clashes in Basra.
Two Israeli right-wing newspapers reported that Hezbollah fighters joined Moqtada al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army who are battling ‘for control of Basra and its oil resources’.
Heavy fighting broke out between Mahdi Army forces and Iraqi security members in Basra on Tuesday after Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki launched a crackdown on “armed groups” in Iraq.
The report alleged that “the Iraqi [Hezbollah] draws on its Lebanese command for orders, fighters, arms and cash”.
The publication of report could be a scenario by the US and Israel to make case for waging another war against Lebanon, an Arab political analyst told Press TV, on condition of anonymity due to sensitivity of the issue.
Since Israel has found Hezbollah a powerful enemy, through making such accusation, Israel could involve the US in a possible attack on Lebanon or pave the way for US military intervention in the country, he added.
The report came after analysts warned that Israel is planning another Lebanon war and the US deployed more warships to the Mediterranean Sea.
Last Tuesday an Israeli warship violated Lebanese waters but was intercepted by a UNIFIL ship.
Syria has also deployed more troops to its border with Lebanon amid speculation that “Israel might attack the country and Lebanon if Hezbollah retaliated for in Damascus assassination of its senior commander Imad Mugniyah.”
In summer 2006, Israel fought a 33-day war with Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah but the recently published Winograd Report admitted that the war was a total failure for the regime.

Sadr militia battle troops in four Iraqi cities
BAGHDAD (AFP) — Moqtada al-Sadr’s militiamen Tuesday battled troops in four Iraqi cities on Tuesday, including the capital, as the hardline Shiite cleric threatened a countrywide campaign of civil revolt.
Heavy clashes broke out between Sadr’s Mahdi Army fighters in the southern oil city of Basra, killing at least seven people and wounding 48, and in Kut and Hilla, both south of Baghdad, officials said.
As evening fell, Mahdi Army fighters fought with Iraqi and US forces in their Sadr City bastion in eastern Baghdad for the first time since last October, a security official and witnesses told AFP.
Troops had surrounded the sprawling impoverished neighbourhood of two million people and armed Shiite fighters were roaming the streets, a witness said.
The fighting, which severely strains a ceasefire declared by Sadr in late August and renewed last month, prompted the cleric to issue a stern warning that he would launch protests and a nationwide strike if attacks against his movement and “poor people” are not halted.
“We demand that religious and political leaders intervene to stop the attacks on poor people. We call on all Iraqis to launch protests across all the provinces.
“If the government does not respect these demands, the second step will be general civil disobedience in Baghdad and the Iraqi provinces,” Sadr said in a statement read by his representative Hazam al-Aaraji in the holy city of Najaf.
Liqa al-Yassin, an MP from the Sadr bloc, told AFP that the Sadrists would boycott parliamentary proceedings “until the government agrees to our demands.”
“We are also starting a signature campaign to express no confidence in (Prime Minister) Nuri al-Maliki’s government,” he said.
Fighting raged from early morning in areas of Basra controlled by the Mahdi Army as troops and police launched a major crackdown on armed groups in the oil hub, considered the nerve centre of Iraq’s national economy.
At least seven people were killed and 48 wounded, among them dozens of members of the Iraqi security forces, according to police and medics.
An AFP correspondent said fighting in Basra died away late afternoon and the streets were empty even of security force vehicles.
Clashes raged sporadically in Kut as militants fought Iraqi and US forces but there were no immediate reports of casualties. At least two people died in the Hilla clashes, security officials said.
In August, Sadr ordered a ceasefire following bloody fighting in the shrine city of Karbala blamed on his fighters, which were involved in two rebellions against US forces in 2004.
While Iraqi and US officials say most members of the militia have heeded the order, a number of what the US military terms “rogue elements” continue to attack American forces with mortars, rockets and roadside bombs.
Despite the ceasefire, Mahdi Army members are being subject to raids by the “occupiers” and Iraqi forces which are “destroying Iraqi houses,” Sadr’s statement said.
“Iraqis in general and Mahdi members in particular are paying the price.”
British military officials said Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki was in Basra to personally oversee the major security force sweep in Iraq’s second largest city, but that British troops were not taking part.
An AFP correspondent said fighting involving mortars, machine guns and assault weapons erupted soon after the security forces entered the Al-Tamiyah neighbourhood, a bastion of Sadr’s Mahdi Army militia, at around 5:00 am (0200 GMT). The fighting quickly spread to five other Mahdi Army neighbourhoods.
Television pictures showed Iraqi troops running through the streets firing weapons and taking cover as ambulances raced past. Thick palls of smoke were seen rising above the city skyline.
In the wake of the fighting police also imposed curfews in five central-southern Shiite cities — Kut, Samawa, Nasiriyah, Hilla and Diwaniyah — as well as in Sadr City.
Basra province was handed over to Iraqi control by British forces in mid-December.
It has since become the theatre of a bitter turf war between the Mahdi Army, the Badr organisation allied to the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council (SIIC) of powerful politician Abdel Aziz al-Hakim, and the smaller Shiite party, Fadhila, ahead of provincial elections in October.
After touring Basra on Monday, Maliki vowed his government would restore order, saying the city was experiencing a “brutal campaign” by internal and external groups targeting “innocent men and women.”
“The federal Iraqi government... will restore security, stability and enforce law in this city.”

Clashes Break Out in Basra
By RYAN LENZ – 1 hour ago
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi forces clashed with Shiite militiamen Tuesday in the southern oil port of Basra and rockets rained down on the U.S.-protected Green Zone in Baghdad as followers of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr expanded a nationwide backlash against government crackdowns.
The U.S. Embassy said no deaths or serious casualties were reported in the Green Zone attacks — the second major barrage this week launched from Shiite areas. Two rockets landed on Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s compound, but did not explode, an Iraqi government security official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to disclose the information.
Al-Maliki was in Basra, where he is supervising the operation against the Shiite militia fighters. At least 25 people were killed in the Basra fighting, officials said.
The violence marked a stunning escalation in the confrontation between the Shiite-run government and al-Sadr’s forces, who have bitterly complained about the recent arrests of hundreds of backers.
The clashes also threaten to reverse the security gains achieved by U.S. and Iraqi forces. The Bush administration has hailed the decline in violence as a key sign that Iraq is headed for better days.
Al-Sadr declared a unilateral cease-fire last August. That move — along with a U.S. troop buildup and a Sunni alliance with the American forces — has contributed to a steep drop in violence.
But the truce is now under serious pressure. Al-Sadr’s allies have grown increasingly angry over U.S. and Iraqi raids and detentions, demanding the release of followers.
The cleric recently told his followers that the cease-fire remains in effect but that they were free to defend themselves against attacks.
Al-Sadr’s headquarters in Najaf also ordered field commanders with his Mahdi Army militia to go on maximum alert and prepare “to strike the occupiers” — a term used to describe U.S. forces — and their Iraqi allies, a militia officer said. He declined to be identified because he wasn’t supposed to release the information.
More than 2,000 supporters of al-Sadr danced through the streets with olive branches and copies of the Quran during demonstrations in Najaf, 100 miles south of Baghdad. Similar protests were held earlier in the day in Baghdad.
Lawmakers from al-Sadr’s movement announced in a Baghdad press conference that a general strike campaign — which began in selected neighborhoods of the capital and included the closure of businesses and schools — was being expanded nationwide.
Three police officers were kidnapped from a checkpoint in eastern Baghdad, a police official said on condition on anonymity because he wasn’t supposed to release the information.
Stores and schools also were closed in several other predominantly Shiite neighborhoods in the capital, and armed Mahdi Army members were seen patrolling the streets in some Shiite neighborhoods of the capital.
In Basra, Iraqi soldiers and police battled Mahdi fighters for control of key neighborhoods in Iraq’s second-largest city, 340 miles southeast of Baghdad. The fighting erupted a day after al-Maliki flew there and announced the security crackdown against the militias.
AP Television News video showed smoke from explosions rising over the city and Iraqi soldiers exchanging gunfire with militia members.
Basra accounts for most of Iraq’s oil exports, but an oil ministry official, declining to be identified because he wasn’t supposed to publicly discuss the sensitive issue, said production and exports had not been affected by the fighting.
Curfews were also imposed in the Shiite cities of Kut, where a large number of Mahdi Army gunmen were seen deploying on the streets, and Nasiriyah.
In Baghdad, suspected Mahdi Army gunmen exchanged gunfire with security guards of the rival Shiite Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council in Sadr City, police said.
The rising tension led many people in Shiite neighborhoods to stay at home rather than venture into contested streets.
Athra Ali, 27, a government employee who lives in the Hurriyah neighborhood, said she decided not to go to work after seeing many shops closed and streets abandoned.
A university lecturer at Baghdad’s Mustansiriyah University also said the institution had closed early and sent students home.
Security in Basra had been steadily declining well before the British handed over responsibility for security to the Iraqis on Dec. 16.
Col. Karim al-Zaidi, spokesman for the Iraq military, said security forces were encountering stiff resistance from Mahdi Army gunmen in the city.
The U.S. military said Tuesday that five suspected militants were killed in Basra while attempting to place a roadside bomb. Ten others were injured after being spotted conducting suspicious activity, the statement said.
British troops remained at their base at the airport outside Basra and were not involved in the ground fighting Tuesday, according to the British Ministry of Defense.
But three British jets provided aerial surveillance for the Iraqi forces, said Maj. Tom Holloway, a military spokesman in Basra.
He said the British jets have not dropped any bombs because the Iraqi forces “haven’t yet asked.”
U.S. officials have insisted they are not going after Sadrists who respect the cease-fire. Instead, the Americans are targeting rogue elements, known as “special groups,” that the military believes have ties to Iran. Tehran denies that it is fueling the violence.
The U.S. military blamed Iranian-backed Shiite militia factions for a spate of rocket attacks that struck the Green Zone and surrounding areas on Monday.
The Sadrists allege that rival militia factions have infiltrated the security forces and are targeting the movement to gain advantage in provincial elections expected this fall.

“Jewish groups placed on security alert”
Published: 03/26/2008
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Citing an increase in threats and attacks, a U.S. Jewish security network warned its members to be alert to a “new set of circumstances.”
“The convergence and timing of several events coupled with escalating tensions in the Middle East create a new set of circumstances that have commanded our attention,” said the alert issued Tuesday by the Secure Community Network. “The current heightened threat environment poses challenges and issues, particularly when there is a need for a balanced approach to securing our institutions, agencies and organizations.”
The alert cited among other circumstances the end of the 40-day mourning period for Imad Mughniyeh, the Hezbollah terrorist chief assassinated in Syria, and a call by Ayman al-Zawahiri, an al-Qaida chief, to “strike the interests of Jews” in retaliation for escalating violence in the Gaza Strip.
Israel has denied a role in the Mughniyeh killing, but Hezbollah blames it nonetheless and has threatened to retaliate by attacking Jews outside of Israel.
“In the past 30 days, we have noted an increase in reported threats and attacks in the United States,” the alert said. “While most of these incidents are isolated, and many are still under active investigation, the increase in frequency and brazenness of threats and attacks are a cause to be more vigilant and conscientious about your security preparedness and operations.”
The alert lists seven threats and attacks since Feb. 14, and notes that the Department of Homeland Security has instructed its officials to inspect Jewish sites across the country.”

“’Head of Mughniyeh probe under arrest’”
By JPOST.COM STAFF
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Head of Syrian military intelligence Maj.-Gen. Assef Shawkat has been put under heavily-guarded house arrest following the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh, former Syrian vice president Abdel Halim Khaddam was quoted as saying Sunday.
Khaddam, who was a close ally of former Syrian president Hafez Assad, told the Lebanese newspaper Al-Mustaqbal that the arrest was made after Shawkat claimed the probe he was conducting into Mughniyeh’s death showed that the assassins came from Syria.
“Following this revelation, Shawkat was removed from the investigation which was transferred to [Syrian President Bashar Assad’s cousin] Hafez Mahlof, who mulled over who to accuse in the assassination,” said Khaddam.
Khaddam asserted that Assad therefore used the assassination to bring about the dismissal of Shawkat, his bother-in-law, and the appointment of Mahlof.
Khaddam went on to say that Syria’s attempts to put the blame for killing Mughniyeh on Arab intelligence services were “stupid” and “naive.”
“The Syrian regime tried to exert pressure on several Arab countries, to blackmail them and force them to participate in the Arab Summit in Damascus,” claimed Khaddam.
The former Syrian vice president noted that Mughiyeh managed to hide for 25 years from foreign intelligence agencies, from his associates in Hizbullah and from his neighbors. “During that time, he was subjected to Iranian and Syrian monitoring, so how is it possible that Arab agencies were involved in the assassination?”
On Sunday, Syria is set to announce the results of the probe into Mughniyeh’s death.”

‘Report on Sept. 6 strike to show Saddam transferred WMDs to Syria’
By JPOST.COM STAFF
An upcoming joint US-Israel report on the September 6 IAF strike on a Syrian facility will claim that former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein transferred weapons of mass destruction to the country, Channel 2 stated Monday.
Furthermore, according to a report leaked to the TV channel, Syria has arrested 10 intelligence officials following the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh.

Reports: Syrian Military Intelligence Chief Fired Following Mughniya Assassination
Former Syrian vice president Abd Al-Halim Khaddam, who is currently a leader of the exiled Syrian opposition, said that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad has exploited the assassination of senior Hizbullah commander Imad Mughniya to strike at the status of Syrian military intelligence chief Gen. Asaf Shokat.
He said that Shokat was under house arrest with a guard, and that interior security head Amid Khafez Makhlouf had been appointed to investigate the assassination in his stead.
At the same time, the Syrian opposition website Al-Haqiqa reported that Al-Assad had appointed Ali Younes head of Syrian military intelligence instead of Shokat.

“Tehran’s murderous role”
THE WASHINGTON TIMES EDITORIAL
April 7, 2008
EDITORIAL SNIPPET: “Bill Roggio, who blogs from Iraq and Afghanistan for the Longwarjournal.org, notes that Iraqi intelligence officials have said that senior Hezbollah military commander Imad Mugniyah, who was slain in Damascus two months ago, helped form the Mahdi Army in April 2003 after the fall of Saddam Hussein; some 300 fighters recruited from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia underwent military training with Hezbollah in Lebanon. In an August 2007 interview with the Independent, a British newspaper, Sheik al-Sadr explained the Mahdi Army’s relationship with Hezbollah this way. “We have formal links with Hezbollah, we do exchange ideas and discuss the situation facing Shi’ites in both countries,” he said. “We copy Hezbollah in the way they fight and their tactics, we teach each other.”
According to U.S. military officials in Iraq, the Quds Force, an elite unit of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has played an extensive role in funnelling arms to Iraqi Shi’ite militias. Maj. Gen. Kevin Bergner, spokesman for the U.S.-led multinational force in Iraq, on Wednesday called on the Iranian government to “fulfill its pledge to halt the flow of weapons, of training, of funding, and of other resources that the criminal groups are dependent upon here.””

“Newspaper: Israeli drill delays Mugniyah report”
SNIPPET: “London-based Arabic publication reports that Syria, Lebanon delaying publication of report on assassination of Hizbullah commander due to tension generated by Israel’s wide-scale Home Front Command drill”
Roee Nahmias
Published: 04.08.08, 11:35 / Israel News
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The London based Arabic publication, al-Quds al-Arabi, reported Tuesday that Syria is delaying the publication of its report on the assassination of Hizbullah leader Imad Mugniyah, which was scheduled for Sunday, due to tension and fears generated in both Syria and Lebanon by the wide-scale Home Front Command drill taking place in Israel.
Publication of this report, senior Damascus officials have indicated, could do serious damage to Syria as it would expose the involvement of Arab intelligence officials, as well as that of Syrian, Palestinian and Lebanese personnel in the Mugniyah assassination.
Lebanese sources close to Hizbullah noted that Syrian security personnel have managed to track down the owners of two vehicles involved in the assassination and have managed to identify them.”

SNIPPET: “During February and March 2008, Hizbullah’s Al-Manar TV aired reports on visitors from the U.S. and from Egypt who came to pay their respects at the grave of senior Hizbullah commander ‘Imad Mughniya, who was assassinated in February 2008.
One visitor from the U.S. was Franklin Lamb, author, activist, and director of Americans for the Just Peace in the Middle East and who writes on websites including Counterpunch. [1] Lamb, who was described by the Al-Manar TV reporter as “persiste[nt] in his support for the just cause of the Lebanese people’s resistance,” has demanded that the Bush administration “prove” that Hizbullah is a terrorist organization.

In the Al-Manar segment that aired March 25, 2008, Lamb expressed his support for Hizbullah and said he was “honored to be in this venerable place,” and responded to criticism of his visit by U.S. Charge d’Affaires Michele J. Sison by saying that she herself should come to pay her respects.
