Soldiers may be held in Hizbullah bunker
2006-09-12
The two Israeli soldiers whose abduction led to Israel's 34-day war in Lebanon are probably being held in one of Hizbullah's bunkers and are unlikely to have been moved around for fear of discovery by Israeli monitoring systems, according to Alistair Crooke, a former MI6 officer and trained negotiator who has worked extensively with Hizbullah.

"The location must be very discreet and somewhere where the guarding logistics have been well prepared," said Mr Crooke, a 30-year veteran of British intelligence. "Almost certainly they are in an extremely well-sealed location as the operation would have been planned months earlier." Mr Crooke believes Israel's monitoring apparatus in operation over Lebanon would make it difficult to move the soldiers, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, without being detected. "There is infrared and satellite imaging and the Israeli drones can pick up a huge amount of information," he said.

#2  The Israelis were not watching because it was the UN's job to watch.

Well, if there is any truth to this bit if silliness, it probably won't happen again.

#1  Since when did they start calling the Iranian embassy in Syria a bunker?

And if Israeli imagery is so great, how did Hezb'Allah sneak their fixed rocket launcher sites past them?
