No surprise. Nasrallah’s been screaming about revenge on Israel since the day after Hezbollah super-jihadi Imad Mughniyeh was assassinated in February. They’ve hit Jewish targets in the west before too, of course, most famously in 1994 with the bombing of the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people and earned Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani — the heir apparent to Khamenei as supreme leader of Iran — an arrest warrant from the Argentinian government in 2006.
The U.S. isn’t expected to be on the target list. Supposedly, Iran’s afraid Bush might hit back.
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…
Suspected Hezbollah operatives have conducted recent surveillance on the Israeli embassy in Ottawa, Canada and on several synagogues in Toronto, according to the officials.
Latin American is also considered a possible target by officials following Hezbollah’s planning…

Baer writes occasionally for Time and makes no secret of his disdain for the Iraq war so bear that in mind if/when the carping about neocon disinformation begins. (He’s also been known to flirt with Trutherism.) Now, question: Why leak this? According to ABC, there’s evidence of four cells — one is even named — backed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, supposedly corroborated by the CIA, NSA, and British and Canadian intel. A Hezbo weapons expert has, allegedly, even been tracked from Lebanon to Toronto. With the publication of this article the jig is up, but it doesn’t sound like a surreptitious leak: ABC cites a “senior counterterrorism official” as a source and three U.S. law enforcement agencies confirm that they’d been briefed on some of the details. Maybe they’re worried that they’ve lost track of the plotters and are putting this out in desperation, to try to spook them into aborting an attack?
And a second question: Why Canada? That’s actually easy to answer — because Hezbollah’s already there and has been there for years, openly raising funds to send back home to Lebanon for, ahem, “social services” until as recently as 2002. It’s a target of opportunity. But do note the aside about Latin America. If they want to attack Jews somewhere without having to worry about government interference, there’s an obvious choice. So obvious, in fact, that I wonder if Chavez could survive given how complicit he’d appear.
fyi
Hezbollah Poised to Strike? Officials Say "Sleeper Cells" Activated in Canada
**************************EXCERPT INTRO**********************
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 Frosty Satan.
They only go after the truly evil, like Mark Steyn.

Imad Mughniyeh is dead. Hassan Nasrallah’s ticket needs to be punched. Trickle down annihilation works!...
Or...how about this...
“Other entities deserving inclusion would be global media outlets (al Jazeera, the BBC, CNN), militias (Hamas, Hezbollah, the Mahdi Army, the Taliban), political parties, religious institutions and movements, terrorist organizations (al Qaeda), drug cartels,...”
from the President (of the Council on Foreign Relations)...here...

This is how it works, Hamas gets a ceasefire and Hezbullah
picks up the slack, Arab Doubleteaming, and before you know
it someone will declare a foul against Israel and they will lose 15 yds, want to bet?
Had you seen this?
Hizballah terrorists are as dangerous as Al Qaeda terrorists. They should be all annihilated.
I am Bore Sighting my new AK 103 as we speak....

And so it begins.
LOL....good question.
fyi
If Iran’s Shia terrorist proxies, Hezballah, attack either Canada or America, that should be the signal for all of us to launch air strikes against Iran, taking out their Russian supported nuke plants and the entire Tehran régime, plus Hezballah targets in Lebanon. If Iran’s ally in terrorism Syria acts up, Damascus can be placed on the target list as well.
> The U.S. isn’t expected to be on the target list. Supposedly, Iran’s afraid Bush might hit back.
If Mr. Bush imposes the Monroe Doctrine, an attack on any American country is considered an attack upon the United States. Canada certainly qualifies as our sister to the North.
