Hizbullah has ââsignificant presenceââ in Iraq
Lebanese-based resistance movement Hizbullah has established a "significant presence" in Iraq, but is refraining from participating in attacks against American forces there, The New York Times reported on Monday. âIran is believed to be restraining Hizbullah from attacking American troops, and that is prompting a debate within the Bush administration about Iranâs objectives,â the newspaper wrote. The only debate should be on how to kill them. According to the report, âHizbullahâs presence has become a source of concern as it is recognized by counter-terrorist experts to have some of the most dangerous operatives in the world.â Sources in Lebanon have told the Times that "Hizbullah has sent what they describe as a security team of up to 90 members to Iraq." Security team = training and support. They may not be pulling triggers themselves, but only because they are too valuable. Plenty of cannon fodder to do the dirty work. Posted by: Steve 2003-11-24 |
