BEIRUT (Reuters) – Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Friday the group had captured three spies among its members, two of whom were recruited by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

The spies, one of whom was recruited five months ago, did not pose a serious threat to the movement or its military capabilities, he said.

"None of these three cases are within the first line of senior leadership. They were not in positions of sensitive responsibility ... it is impossible to touch the military and security infrastructure of the resistance and its ability to confront," he said in a televised speech.

"None of them have sensitive information that could harm the structure of the resistance."

Nasrallah said the CIA agents who hired the spies had diplomatic protection from the U.S. embassy in Beirut. He accused the CIA of recruiting the spies on behalf of Israel.

I think it’s nice that Hassan Nasrallah threw the others under the bus to cover his own heinie. Oops, I’ve said too much...

Shhhh...

Don’t mention the secret satellite phone that Nasrallah uses to conspire with the CIA. If they ever find out about it, his goose is cooked...

But they missed the Mossad agents, the ones in their leadership structure and the ones living inside their heads.

Don’t worry. They can only access that phone if they actually drill a 25mm hole, 120mm deep into the back of his skull. It’s safe...
