Lebanon has cracked a spy ring recruited by Israel to help assassinate the head of the resistance group Hizb Allah, a Beirut newspaper has said.

Hizb Allah chief Hasan Nasr Allah is the alleged target of a plot


A Palestinian woman in her forties is in custody, accused of being recruited by Israeli agents in Tunisia to establish a spy ring comprising Arab workers in Lebanon, the daily Al-Safir said in a front-page story on Tuesday.

A Lebanese security source said a plot of some kind had been uncovered but could give no further details.

But public prosecutor Adnan Addum said no such case had been referred to the judiciary and "this was media talk".

Israel, which recently stepped up its threats against the leaders of Islamist groups, declined comment.

Recruitment

Al-Safir said the woman, a resident of Nahr al-Barid refugee camp in northern Lebanon, had recruited an Egyptian man living in Beirut, who had also been arrested along with a lover she had tried unsuccessfully to bring into the ring.

Lebanon has foiled attacks on the
US embassy in Beirut

The woman said she had been asked to liaise between two cells plotting to kill Shaikh Hasan Nasr Allah, the head of Hizb Allah, using explosives and a poison to be applied to clothing, the daily added.

Al-Safir said the woman was arrested after a man she had unsuccessfully approached to join the ring warned Hizb Allah, which hounded Israeli troops out of south Lebanon in 2000 after a 22-year occupation.

In 1992, Israel killed Hizb Allah's then leader Shaikh Abbas al-Musawi, his wife and their six-year-old son in an air strike on his car as he returned to Beirut from the south.

Hunt

Security sources in Israel said the Mossad spy agency stepped up its hunt for Islamist leaders abroad in 2002, after al-Qaida blew up an Israeli-owned hotel and tried to shoot down an Israeli airliner in Kenya.

At least two Lebanese who Israeli sources said were linked to al-Qaida and Hizb Allah have since died in booby-trap bombings that local authorities attributed to Mossad.

Lebanon has jailed some 30 people since December over bomb attacks on American-style food outlets, foiled attacks on the fortress-like US embassy and alleged plots to assassinate US ambassador Vincent Battle.

Good I'm happy they are proactive in hunting down terrorist leaders. Go Israel.

Too bad they got caught.

the biggest terrorist is Israel
i will never forget how they killed my people

Michel, How do you feel about the fact that when the PLO came to Lebanon they started the civil war which destroyed the country. Also how do you feel about Syria's current occupation of Lebanon?

He doesn't feel much about it Jeff because somehow it doesn't involve Israel. It's only when Israel is perceived as killing their people do they seem to speak up about it.

I guess your right oneofpeace because Michel came and went today without responding to my question.

what are u talking about oneofpeace ??? what true motives ??
Some members said they would be happy if Israel destroy the terrorists (hezbolla)
I said that Israel is the biggest terrorist
Jeff tried to evade my post by asking his question
i told him "that's another subject" , i am talking about Israel crimes against lebanese people while he is talking about the PLO and the syrian occupation !!
and i will answer ur question Jeff BUT THAT'S ANOTHER SUBJECT ! anyway lets talk about syria and let all the members know the truth about the conspiracy against Lebanon : ISRAEL IS RESPONSIBLE OF SYRIA'S CURRENT OCCUPATION OF LEBANON !! Israel was controling the lebanese sky : if a syrian plane dared to fly it would be destroyed
but on 13 october Israel let the syrians use their planes to finish off Michel Aoun and to occupy Lebanon

"Lebanon's most horrific day in its 6000 year old history : BLACK SATURDAY, 13 OCTOBER 1990. A Syrian-led military operation in which fighter planes were used for the first time, to destroy, attempt to suppress and invade the liberated areas of Lebanon."

"October 13, 1990: The Syrian Forces invaded the Eastern areas which support the Lebanese Army under heavy air strikes (the only instance where Syria was able to fly its airforce over Lebanese space without drawing the Israelis), artillery shelling and rocket launching. Both the people and the army attempted to resist this onslaught but the Syrians were able to take over the area committing massacres in Dahr El Wahsh, Souk El Gharb, Bsous, Hadeth and Beit Mery, massacres that left hundreds of people dead and many more injured. Large numbers of soldiers and officers from the Lebanese Army were executed with a shot in the back of the head, or were captured and taken to Syrian jails where they are still being held to this day. An estimated 700 people were killed by the Syrian invaders that day. For three days the Syrians proceeded to steal what they could find inside the defense ministry, such as archives, equipment, computers, maps, and strategic historic information, which they transported to Syria. The Syrian invasion was "legitimized" by the collaboration of one Emile Lahoud, a privileged and largely ineffectual Navy officer serving as the "legitimate" front for the Syrians. In his bid as a traitor and collaborator, General Lahoud became the Général Pétain of Lebanon who was rewarded by the Syrians with the "Presidency" of Lebanon. As the ultimate puppet, Lahoud will never challenge his puppeteers in Damascus, lest he loses his career if not his life."

Michel, how did I evade your post? You asked no questions and posted no facts all you did was post a statement saying you were unforgiving. What kind of response were you looking for?

So now your claiming that Syria is under Israel's control? Are you saying that Israel conspired with Syria? Or that Israel controls Syria.
This just proves the point I was trying to make no matter what crimes Arabs commit against each other they blame the Israelies.

Your own link documents that Syria started making incursions into Lebanon in 1975. Israel wasn't involved in the area until '81.

...and coming back to Israel crimes , look what i found :

Palestinian War Crimes In Lebanon (September 1975 Till March 1985)

September 1975
Men belonging to the armed groups of the Palestinian leaders George Habash (a Christian) and Nayef Hawatmeh (a Muslim) executed all the Christian villagers from Beit Mellat in the north of Lebanon, who had fallen into their hands. Nayef Hawatmeh is a member of the DFLP and his group was recently removed from the list of terror groups by the Clinton administration so he could work with Arafat. Subsequently, Israel refused to allow him to enter Gaza as Israel considers him a dangerous terrorist, yet the Clinton administration has not reversed its' decision.

September 3, 1975
At Deir Ayach in Northern Lebanon, a monastery transformed in 1947 into a school was twenty eight years later attacked by Lebanese and Palestinians. The school had 960 children (660 Muslims) who mainly were attending at no cost. Three monks aged, respectively, 60, 78, and 93, the sole occupants of Deir Ayach on that day were murdered. The veins of the blind Boutros Sassine's arms were severed. Antoine Tamini was slaughtered, decapitated, and burned. Hanna Maksoud was found in his room, his throat cut. The Christian villagers living around the school monastery fled, and the aggressors destroyed their village.

January 15, 1976
The Palestinians arrived at Kab Elias, an Islamic Christian village situated in the Bekaa. Some ten days later, 16 Christians were killed and another 23 were injured. Following that, we witnessed the exodus of the Christians towards Zahlé, East Beirut and Jounieh.

At the beginning of January 1976
In Damour and Jieh, two Christian towns south of Beirut, the Palestinians and Syrians went so far as to cut the fingers of Christian children to ensure that they never would be able to pull a gun's trigger. In Damour, at least 300 inhabitants were killed and their churches profaned.

January 19, 1976
The village of Hoche Barada in the Bekaa was attacked by Palestinians and Muslim Lebanese and completely pillaged and destroyed.

In 1976
The Army of Arab Lebanon, founded by the Palestinians, attacked the city of Aintoura and destroyed it. The attack was led by the Lebanese officer Ibrahim Chahine.

In 1976
The Lebanese officer Samir Abou Zahr led the massacre perpetrated by the Army of Arab Lebanon on the Emir Bechir Barracks in Beirut. During this massacre, Lebanese soldiers and officers were murdered in their sleep.

In 1976
The Lebanese officer Mostapha Sleiman, a member of the Army of Arab Lebanon, led the massacre of the Lebanese population in the city of Chekka. xt

March 10, 1976

Syria War Crimes In Lebanon

You sound like a dog Michel. For one, i dont bother speaking to dogs.

The problem is nutty religion. The solution is found in the book written by the guy who started this country. The book is "The Age of Reason" and the author is Tom Paine.
