Gaza Terror Cell Tied to Hizballah
(Ha'aretz) The Shin Bet security service has uncovered a Palestinian terror organization in Gaza that receives its orders and funding from Hizballah in Lebanon. The group, founded in Khan Yunis by Shadi Abu al-Hassin, had planned to send an explosives-laden glider into one of the settlements in the Gaza Strip. Abu al-Hassin, arrested in December 2003, said he had heard about the possibility of joining Hizballah after watching its al-Manar television station, which published an e-mail address that would-be recruits could contact. In the end, Abu al-Hassin joined up via his Lebanese uncle, who is active in the organization.
