(IsraelNN.com) Jews in Canada and Latin America are on the hit list of Hizbullah terrorist cells, according to an ABC television news report, quoting American and Canadian intelligence officials. They said that the terrorist party, headed by Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, is seeking revenge for the attack last February on Imad Muginiyeh. Israel has denied involvement n the attack on the Hizbullah mastermind, who was assassinated in a car bomb blast in Damascus.
ABC said Hizbullah agents have been conducting surveillance on the Israeli embassy in Ottawa and on Toronto synagogues.
"They want to kill as many people as they can, they want it to be a big splash," former American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) intelligence officer Bob Baer told the television network. "They cannot have an operation fail, and I don't think they will. They're the A-team of terrorism." He said he met with Hizbullah leaders in Beirut last month. Hizbullah is the A-team of terrorism.
Baer added that the United States is not a prime target because Iran, which gives orders to Hizbullah, is afraid it would give American President George W. Bush an excuse to attack Iran's nuclear facility under construction.
Hizbullah has been openly active in Canada through billboard campaigns and rallies. A think tank report two years stated that Hizbullah "activities in Canada include fundraising ... collection and the procurement of equipment."
Canadian Jewish Congress chief executive Bernie Farber told Canadian news agencies, "What we have been told is that there is nothing specific to Canada. That's what we have been told. Yes, there is chatter. We don't have anything to suggest there is any significant change in terms of imminence. There are some mixed messages but the bottom line is: we're aware, our security is aware and we will keep an eye out."
So the terrorists are afraid of the Texan, eh? Maybe the rest of the planet will wake up and stand up to thugs.
Are you kidding?
