[Al Ahram] Iranian-backed Hezbullies boasted on Wednesday that it has succeeded in exposing CIA operatives in Leb and urged the government to take immediate measures against the US embassy near Beirut."Our security... has exposed several American and Israeli plots on Leb," Hezbullies MP Hassan Fadlallah told news hounds outside parliament.
"We call on the Lebanese government to take immediate action... and raise the issue with the United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
and embassies, so that the whole world is aware of what the US embassy in Leb is doing," he added.
Fadlallah, who heads parliament's telecommunications committee, said the Lebanese Shia cut-thoat group had succeeded in uncovering Central Intelligence Agency operatives that had infiltrated Hezbullies.
"Lebanese intelligence vanquished US and Israeli intelligence in what is now known as the intelligence war," Fadlallah said.
"The resistance blinded American intelligence eyes."
The MP's comments came days after reports emerged that Hezbullies had uncovered several operatives within the movement working for the CIA.
In the first acknowledgement of infiltration since the Shia group's founding in the 1980s, Hezbullies chief Hassan Nasrallah in June said members of his group had confessed to being CIA agents.
Nasrallah accused his arch foe Israel of turning to the US spy agency after failing to infiltrate his party, slamming the American embassy in Beirut as a "den of spies."
The US embassy in Beirut dismissed the accusations as "empty."
More than 100 people in Leb have been placed in durance vile on suspicion of spying for Israel since April 2009, including military personnel and telecoms employees.
Leb and Israel technically remain in a state of war and convicted spies face life imprisonment or the death sentence if found guilty of contributing to Lebanese loss of life.
Leb has protested to the United Nations over the alleged spy networks.
