A booklet captured by Israeli forces in the recent war against Hezbollah provides more documentation of the influence of Iran upon the terrorist group's operatives in Lebanon.
On Aug. 27, the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center of the Center for Special Studies in Israel released an analysis of a booklet entitled "Al-Jihad" (Holy War) that was found in the possession of Hezbollah operatives in front-line outposts in Lebanon during what Israel is terming the "Second Lebanon War."
The 64-page booklet was published in 2004 in Iran by the Imam Khomeini Culture Center, named after the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
According to the ITIC analysis, the booklet is considered "an ideological guidebook" that presents jihad to be "a doctrine and a program of action" encouraging Muslims to sacrifice their lives "for the sake of Allah and to attain paradise."
The ITIC report concluded:
This radical Islamic worldview is spread and disseminated in Lebanon among Hezbollah in particular and the Shi'ite community in general, through the use of intensive indoctrination activities (da'wa). In our assessment, it comprises the Islamic religious ideological basis on which Iran's armed forces are indoctrinated, as well as the Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of Hezbollah in Lebanon, also serves as Ayatollah Khamenei's top representative in Lebanon, with authority including "religious matters." Ayatollah Khamenei, as supreme leader in Iran, also is the supreme commander over Iran's military forces, including the Revolutionary Guard.

Good post, article. Thanks to you IrishMike and Jerome Corsi.
Ping!
Bump
Iran's response.
So?
No surprises here. The IRG had members captured/killed among those in S. Lebanon. Obviously the world is choosing to ignore that fact. Until the West does something substantial to damage the regime in Tehran, then no one in Tehran is going to take us seriously.
What a huge surprise.
About as much of a surprise as bears pooping in the woods. Haman in Tehran was involved in the recent conflict up to his evil beady eyes.
