BRUSSELS, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Belgian police raided homes overnight and arrested a number of people believed to be linked to a Belgian woman who carried out a suicide attack near Baghdad, the Federal Prosecutor's Office said on Wednesday.

"This is terrorism file. We were looking for a group of people who were the entourage of a woman who carried out an attack in Iraq," Lieve Pellens, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office, told Reuters.

The Belgian woman, who blew herself up a few weeks ago, had converted to Islam when she married a Muslim, Pellens said, declining to give the bomber's name or other details.

"Hezbollah Rising"
By Brigitte Gabriel
FrontPageMagazine.com | November 30, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Hezbollah receives over $650 million annually in cash from Iran. It earns another $650 million from phone card monopolies and controls the Internet traffic in Lebanon. Hezbollah is rumored to earn an estimated $300 million annually in brokering drug deals in the region. All told, according to reliable sources, it has an annual war-chest of over $1.6 billion, more than enough to fund terrorism and build up a hidden store of tens of thousands of Katyusha rockets and arms in mountain bunkers in the Bekaa Valley. The PLO armed itself with Soviet assistance in the 70's, but the Israelis were able to neutralize much of this threat. With such unbridled access and money, Hezbollah can arm itself for another generation of death.

Iran, Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and al Qaeda see only weakness - a weakness arising from Israel’s vulnerability after the Gaza withdrawal and last week’s border crossing fiasco pushed by Condi Rice and the Arabists in the U.S. State Department. They also are pumped up because they see anti-war activists such as Cindy Sheehan and members of Congress in an uproar demanding an early exit in Iraq.

Sensing Israel and the U.S. on the run, they naturally pounce not only because of the prospect of American forces leaving the region, but also because of possible change in party control in Israel’s Knesset next March. Now, will the world, especially the U.S., do what is right by its best ally and military defense force in the Middle East? The terrorists are watching our consistency and conviction waiting for their opportunity to strike."
