Hizballah's New Reality
(UPI/Washington Times) Claude Salhani - "There is a Hizballah fingerprint on 80% of Hamas attacks," Matthew Levitt, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told a conference in Washington on Tuesday. According to IDF Col. Zohar Palti, a visiting military fellow at the Washington Institute, master terrorist Imad Mughniyah is still very "active" within Hizballah, and he is planning future attacks. Mughniyah is believed to be responsible for the 1983 attacks in Beirut on the U.S. Embassy, which killed 63 people, and the the Marines barracks, which killed 241 Marines and sailors. Palti claims that Israel has obtained recent telephone intercepts of Mughniyah.
