| Islamic Movements Gather in Latin America |
| 2002-11-08 |
| According to the US State Department, a recent movement took place in Latin America which consisted of several armed resistance groups, including the Lebanese based group, Hizbollah. Although the State Department has claimed that they do not believe Hizbollah has any ties to the al-Qaeda network, they are still monitoring the situation, and believe the US could become subject to attacks by the group if the US wages a war against Iraq. The US also mentioned that it has been a long time since Hizbollah, to their knowledge, has attempted to hurt American interests. I think Hezbollah sees itself as a terror power in its own right, without having to rely on al-Qaeda... It is believed that the group has attacked Israeli targets in Latin America, often in response to violence carried out by the Israeli army against Palestinians and Lebanese. I'm not real clear on this: in exactly which part of Latin America are Israel and Lebanon located? |

| #2 I think the reference is to Hizbollah's destruction of the Israeli embassy in (I think) Argentinia a few years ago, supposedly masterminded by the guy we tried to blow up in Lebanon years back. |
