Hezbollah Poised to Strike? Officials Say "Sleeper Cells" Activated in Canada
ABC News ^ | June 19, 2008 | RICHARD ESPOSITO and BRIAN ROSS

Posted on 06/19/2008 12:45:24 PM PDT by MaestroLC

Intelligence agencies in the United States and Canada are warning of mounting signs that Hezbollah, backed by Iran, is poised to mount a terror attack against "Jewish targets" somewhere outside the Middle East.

Intelligence officials tell ABC News the group has activated suspected "sleeper cells" in Canada and key operatives have been tracked moving outside the group's Lebanon base to Canada, Europe and Africa.

Officials say Hezbollah is seeking revenge for the February assassination of Hezbollah's military commander, Imad Mugniyah, killed by a car bomb in Damascus, Syria.

The group's leaders blamed Israel, an allegation denied by Israeli officials.

There is no credible information on a specific target, according to the officials.

Suspected Hezbollah operatives have conducted recent surveillance on the Israeli embassy in Ottawa, Canada and on several synagogues in Toronto, according to the officials.

If the Canadians mention the name of the terrorist group in their bulletins, they will be charged with ISLAMOPHOBIA/hate speech by their Human Rights organizations

When (probably) Israel attacks a legitimate military target (military leadership), Muslims respond by attacking civilian targets with innocent women and children (synagogues.)

Every day it is a challenge to differentiate “Islam” and “Terrorist.”

I believe it. There are 25,000 “Canadians” living in Lebanon. These are people who have obtained a citizenship of convenience but continue to live in their homeland, Lebanon. During the Israel conflict last year, the Canadian gov’t sent a ship to rescue them. They complained that it took too long and was not confortable enough. Bet 95% are all back living in Lebanon.

We can be sure that if the Canadian news media, or any ‘rogue’ journalists dare to broadcast or print something less than complimentary about these terrorist sleeper cells and/or ‘religion of peace’, that the various ‘human rights tribunals’ from BC to Nova Scotia will arise as one to defend the honor (har har) of ‘allah’.

Puppets of the ‘prophet’ at work.

Ask Mark Steyn about that.

It's easy.

"Islam" is a term which refers to terrorists who have not yet donned their suicide bomb vests on a mission to "Go boom-boom short time".

"Terrorists" is the term which refers to the above individuals after they yank the wire on their bomb vest.

Harsh?

The Koran calls for all infidels to be converted or killed. That sounds like terrorism to me. Some say that not all Muslims are terrorists, but on 9/11, all the terrorists were *Muslims*.

What's not to understand?

Imanutjob is smarter than to attack while President Bush is in still in power.

Most likely wait to see if his brother Obama is elected.

I worked on the drawings for the then Citicorp building back in ‘73 - ‘74 when it was being built. Through the years I have lost touch with it and have no idea who owns it now. I guess I’m a little startled by seeing the building as a possible target. I do remember how it is framed so good luck, this one won’t come down as easy.

I say get an injunction against them preventing them from causign harm to anyone...or a harassment restraiing order...or an order for protection...that way the policy can get them for violating the order when they attack!

Our enemies want to put the 'Big Squeeze' on us. Want me to identify our enemies? Check all my posts. I've been shouting from the sidelines for months.

These bastards are pulling our chains. Rampant, out of control oil speculation was just a small step. Oil profiteering by foreign governments, foreign central banks and Bilderbergers has had a huge impact. Energy and food prices are skyrocketing.

But terrorists want to tip the election to Obama. They want to pull the same stunt they pulled in Spain. Remember the Madrid Train Bombing __________ ? That single event caused the Spaniards to cower in their booties.

Eight Million March in Sorrow and Fury

What happened to all those hot reports and rumors about weapons hidden in America? Dirty bombs and suitcase nukes and weapons of mass destruction smuggled over our wide open borders . . . DUH ?

Oh, well . . . Nothing to see here. Time to move on.

It’s called Citigroup building now. I knew a guy who claimed he helped make balsa models of that building at Hugh Stubbins and Associates on a summer job when he was in architecture school.

We are not Spain and an attack on the U.S. would only help McCain, and they know it. However if Obama gets elected I expect an attack sometime around the time he assumes office.

Rest assured they will put his name to the test.

"...The group's leaders blamed Israel, an allegation denied by Israeli officials..."

More great "reporting" from ABC. Just a few weeks ago, a report came out that this man was killed by Assad's brother in law for tipping Assad off to a coup plot.

Coup Plot

But eh, why report the facts when you can hint that maybe the Jews have it coming to them, right ABC? Lying, evil idiots.

They would see NOT pancaking and falling as a tree as being preferable because other buildings within the towers reach would also be destroyed with more collateral damage and numbers killed.

Interesting. Imad Mugniyah is dead. Someone needs to punch Hassan Nasrallah’s ticket.

We shouldn't be surprised that Canuckistan, home to the Mark Steyn persecution by Islamists, backed by their "Human Rights Commission" would be an excellent stage for crimes against Jews.

It was no accident that Argentina, refuge of choice for Nazis, was the site of Hezbollah's terrorist attack on the Jewish Community Center, killing scores of Jews.

Anti-Semitism in both cultures underlies the comfort that Hezbollah experiences in operating there.

Precisely! The similarities are frightening. The leftist Dems will do whatever to regain total power through Obama.
