CIA and Mossad Are Kicking Hezbollah's Ass

An interesting article here from CQ Politics that details some serious gains that America's CIA and Israel's Mossad have been enjoying at the expense of the jihadi terrorists at Hezbollah. As most of you know, Hezbollah's world wide campaign of terror has been under way for quite some time and today, they still seek to position their influence and jihadis throughout the world. If you recall, when the Hezbollah king of terror attacks, Mughniyeh, bit the final bullet when his car exploded in his face in Syria, Hezbollah's leader, Nasrallah, made the threat against Israelis THROUGHOUT the world - in fact, their first Israeli targets for retribution were located in Europe. So anyway, the intelligence communities of the CIA and Mossad have been kicking Hezbollah's ass from one end of the globe to the other lately.

Let's take a look at some of the article:

American and Israeli intelligence organizations, in cooperation with local security services, have scored notable recent successes against Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based terror organization, according to a new report.

Intelligence Online (IO), a subscription-only insider newsletter based in Paris, cited the roll-ups of Hezbollah operatives in Azerbaijan and Egypt and an embarrassing diplomatic flap in Colombia as setbacks to the Iran- and Syria-backed organization.

The trial of two Lebanese Hezbollah agents arrested on espionage charges in Azerbaijan is scheduled to open in Baku next Wednesday, June 24. IO claims that the arrests of Ali Karaki and Ali Najmeddin were the result of the "active cooperation between the CIA outpost in Azerbaijan, Turkey's Milli Istihbarat Teskilati and Israel's Mossad."

A Cairo court, meanwhile, is expected to see the appearance this week of another suspected Lebanese Hezbollah operative, the newsletter reports. Sami Chehab was arrested in April on charges of assembling a terrorist cell of 48 persons in Egypt."As in Azerbaijan, several foreign intelligence agencies took part in rolling up the network, particularly the CIA and Mossad," according to IO editor Philippe Vasset.

With all of this good news, one hopes that the intelligence communities don't get too cocky or in the CIA's case, too lax (because they all work for Leon Panetta now)...because Hezbollah's influence and presence in South America has been firmly established. One can only surmise that at some point in time, Hezbollah will not be able to resist that porous border that America has with Mexico...and you couple that with the seemingly endless supply of quality fire power of Hezbollah and we have the recipe for disaster here in the U.S.

CIA, Mossad Hitting Iran's Hezbollah Hard, Report Says

"The investigation of the three, who reportedly turned over 12 per cent of their gains to Hezbollah, was carried out by the U.S. Drug Enforcement agency in league with its Colombian counterpart." According to former Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff, Hezbollah poses a more lethal and longer term threat to America than al Qaeda."Al-Qaeda and its network are our most serious immediate threat, they may not be our most serious long-term threat," Chertoff writes in a book to be published in September, according to a draft obtained by Agence France-Pressse."Having operated for more than a quarter-century, (Hezbollah) has developed capabilities that Al-Qaeda can only dream of, including large quantities of missiles and highly sophisticated explosives," Chertoff writes in "Homeland Security, Assessing the First Five Years."The State Department's 2008 report on State Sponsors of Terrorism said that Iran gave Hezbollah $200 million in funding and trained over 3,000 of its fighters at camps in Iran.
